Last week we celebrated 2024 with the end of year party. We had so much fun getting together to enjoy face painting, singing, food and special treats. It was lovely to see families making connections and children making new friends!

Next weekend Alice (Little Movers Director & Physiotherapist) will be running City to Surf to raise awareness of Juvenile Arthritis. Alice’s 6yo son was diagnosed with Polyarticular Juvenile Arthritis last year after years of pain, stiffness and fatigue. Juvenile Arthritis is a serious and painful autoimmune disease with the potential to cause joint deformities and loss of vision if not diagnosed early and treated properly.

Juvenile Arthritis is not rare - it is one of the most common chronic childhood diseases (as common as Juvenile Diabetes!), yet it is poorly understood and as a result, many children have a very delayed diagnosis.

Accurate diagnosis has enabled Alice’s son, and many other children with Juvenile Arthritis, to start on medication that has significantly reduced pain and fatigue, prevented permanent joint damage, and enabled ongoing surveillance to monitor and prevent vision impairment. As a result of targeted treatment, he has gone from spending most of the time laying in bed in tears to being a happy child who is able to keep up with his friends most of the time!

At the moment, Juvenile Arthritis is grossly under-funded. Tasmania, ACT and the Northern Territory don’t have paediatric rheumatology teams, which means that families need to fly interstate to access the care they need. There is also a lack of awareness and training for healthcare practitioners to be able to recognise the symptoms of Juvenile Arthritis and make a timely referral to Paediatric Rheumatology. are working hard to change this so that children living with arthritis are diagnosed, and receive access to care, earlier.
