Thalassaemia and Sickle Cell Australia (TASCA) is a support and advocacy organisation for Australians living with genetic haemoglobin conditions. Here at TASCA, we are driven by a single goal – to do our part in making the world a better place for those living with genetic blood conditions. TASCA is overseen by a voluntary management committee and is funded through donations and support from the Victorian Government.
Our mission:
– Support for research working towards elimination of Thalassaemia and Sickle Cell Anaemia.
– Care and support for patients and their families.
– Harm minimisation through education.
TASCA puts great effort towards raising public awareness of genetic haemoglobin conditions including Thalassaemia and Sickle Cell Anaemia. We also provide a free education program to schools and the wider community and encourage carrier testing for haemoglobin conditions to assist with family planning decisions. TASCA also aims to empower those living with a genetic haemoglobin condition to live their best life and to provide them with support each step of the way.
