Australian Holiday Dialysis Konnections Program
Our Australian Holiday Dialysis Konnections Program may offer some options to help you, if you are thinking about relocating or travel on dialysis, it is very important to speak to your health care team first about how travel may effect your health. While it is possible to travel when on haemodialysis, it is often difficult to find a Renal Unit that can take casual clients. With the number of people with kidney failure growing each year, there is increasing demand for haemodialysis places. All Renal Units support kidney patients wanting to relocate or travel whenever possible, but sometimes they do not have any spare places.
Before considering travel on dialysis, we recommend you refer to our webpage Dialysis and Travel this site, where some valuable information will help you think about your travel options.
