Kidney Health Australia was founded in 1968 and was originally named ‘The Australian Kidney Foundation’. The change of name has provided the opportunity to re-position the organisation and clarify our purpose in the mind of the Australian public by clearly reflecting the nature of our business – namely kidney health which supports our vision.
