Lymphoedema? How many lymphies Australia wide? Unknown! Medicare item number? What Medicare item number?

There is no dedicated Medicare item number for general lymphoedema. Just to touch on a on a couple of things, without an item number it means the Australian Federal Government has no real data captured on the prevalence and cost of lymphoedema in Australia. What can we all do about it?

Write to your MP.

Join LAA and be counted. We are lobbying for a Medicare item number.

ALA Day 4 – that’s a wrap ✨

As is often the case after a conference, I’m heading home with more questions than answers—and a growing list of things to do.

It’s been an incredible opportunity to connect, learn, and build meaningful networks.

What I do know for sure - there is a passionate community of dedicated professionals committed to making a real difference in the world of lymphoedema and I am grateful to be a part of it.

ALA Day 3 highlights 🌴

Today’s hot topics included
- Cellulitis and the significant cost of medical management vs compression/prevention.
- Lipoedema, with valuable insights into misconceptions, misdiagnosis, and why BMI is misleading.

I also had the opportunity to explore new technologies, including LymphaTouch and the lymph scanner—always exciting to see advancements in this space.

💡💙World Lymphoedema Day💙💡

Today we recognise and support the many people living with lymphoedema — a chronic condition that causes ongoing swelling and requires lifelong management. For many, it develops after cancer treatment, surgery, injury, or other health conditions, yet it is often under-recognised and misunderstood.

With the right care, education, and support, people with lymphoedema can successfully manage their symptoms and maintain a good quality of life. Raising awareness helps promote earlier diagnosis, better access to treatment, and stronger support for those affected.

📍At Delta Occupational Therapy in Hervey Bay, we are committed to providing dedicated lymphoedema assessment, treatment, and self-management support. Contact us at info@deltatherapy.com.au

Let’s continue to raise awareness, share knowledge, and support those living with lymphoedema. 💙
