Musculoskeletal Health Australia - MHA

Musculoskeletal Health Australia - MHA Musculoskeletal Health Australia has been supporting people with arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions for 50 years. We’re here to help you.

We exist to improve knowledge, choice and connection that drives positive outcomes for people impacted by musculoskeletal conditions, and to promote excellence in support and care. It all started in 1968, when Dr Leslie Koadlow, a passionate rheumatologist, decided we could do better. Newly diagnosed patients kept coming to his clinic totally overwhelmed, isolated and confused about where to start. A firm believer in the benefit of ‘real people helping real people’, he set up the Rheumatism and Arthritis Association of Victoria (RAAV) with his secretary Alice Petty and patient Mollie Riches. RAAV became a place for those living with musculoskeletal conditions to get informed and get supported. Fifty years later we’re still helping people with information and support.

What doesn't take a holiday? ... Pain

While the festive season can be full of joy, connection, and celebration, pain doesn’t always take a break. Pain and discomfort, or limited movement caused by musculoskeletal conditions can make you feel isolated or lose confidence during this season.

But, we are here to remind you that you are not alone during this time.

Our FREE, national Helpline, staffed by qualified healthcare professionals, remains open. We are here to listen, and support you when you need it most.

Whether you have questions, concerns, or just need someone to talk to, we are here and we’ve got your back. Call us anytime!

Thank you for SITTING with us, Australia! 🪑

Melbourne didn’t deliver perfect SITTING weather, but that certainly didn’t stop us. Friday was a fantastic day as we completed Luke’s 30-minute chair-based workout to support the more than 7 million Australians living with musculoskeletal conditions whist also doing something positive for our own musculoskeletal health.

A huge thank you to Luke and Gerald, our incredible Chair Champions, for leading the way and to our incedible platinum partner Epijoint.

It’s never too early to start training for next year - head over to our YouTube channel and try some of Luke’s other workout challenges today!

It’s always good to know someone’s got your BACK!

Back pain can creep in suddenly or be something you’ve been living with for years. It can affect how you move, work, sleep, and enjoy your life.

But you don't need to manage it by yourself.

Our FREE National Helpline connects you with our qualified healthcare professionals who can listen, answer your questions, and help you understand your options for managing your back pain.
