WELCOME TO YAP SPACE Minimize

 
Kidney Health Australia - Education Advocacy Research Support

Welcome to our website area for social networking with members of our Australian kidney community - where Aussies and others world wide with a connection to CKD can meet, chat, share and support each other. We hope this may alleviate some isolation felt when living with a chronic condition.

It is important to share your story with others - you are not alone!

YAP Space is regularly monitored and moderated by staff from our highly qualified health team.
If you have question,s but prefer a private reply confidentially email info@kidney.org.au and a Health Manager can supply you with information via email.
