June is Lipoedema awareness month, and currently 11% to 19% of the female population have it. It is frequently misdiagnosed by medical practitioners due to the lack of awareness of the condition, and as a result a lot of women don’t know they have it. Lipoedema Australia is the national representative body for lipoedema. As a registered charity, we are committed to directing and supporting research and medical recognition of lipoedema, developing a comprehensive treatment/management plan and ultimately finding a cure. We are also dedicated to improving the lives of individuals affected by lipoedema.
Old Treasury Building will be lit in pink and purple for this event from sunrise to sunset.
