The Juvenile Arthritis Foundation Australia (JAFA) is the primary organisation representing children with juvenile arthritis and their families in Australia. It was named Emerging Not-for-Profit (NFP) of the Year in the 2021 Third Sector Awards. It was founded in 2019 in response to the urgent need for a national voice dedicated exclusively to representing and addressing the needs of children and adolescents with arthritis and related rheumatic diseases (referred to collectively by JAFA as juvenile arthritis) and their families and carers.
JAFA is a fully registered national charity with DRG1 status.
JAFA’s primary aims are to:
– Raise awareness of juvenile arthritis among politicians and government, the education sector, the broader community and potential funders.
– Lobby governments to provide optimal and accessible health care and support for children and adolescents with juvenile arthritis.
– Influence and partner with funders to invest in research into the causes, treatment, care and possible cure for juvenile arthritis.
