About Lupus Foundation
Lupus Foundation is a community based, not-for-profit, voluntary organisation, endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR). The organisation receives no state or federal funding relying heavily on the kindness of people to donate.
Our FREE online membership allows us to provide information, support and advice on a daily basis and produce a FREE half yearly newsletter called, 'Lupus ‘The Wolf Within’.
Our primary objective is to provide FREE access to quality care and support, as many with lupus have been financially crippled by this devastating disease.
