Brain Tumor patients' support just rose a notch with the development and release of a new Brain Tumor support group located in Australia's capital, Canberra. Brain Tumour Alliance Australia (BTAA) has been developed by a band of enthusiasts, all having a connection with brain Tumors, carers and research.
BTAA claims to be the only national Australian organsiation for the brain tumor patient, family and caregiver. More importantly, BTAA is not far from the seat of Australian Government; just down the road, as it were!
The new support Group will work closely with the International Brain Tumour Alliance (IBTA), supporting the IBTA Awareness Week, November 1 to 7 2009, and the annual Walk around the World for Brain Tumors Jan.1 to Nov.7 2009. (see www.ibta.org).
Ensuring public policy influence, BTAA will seek to act as a channel of information to the proposed Federal Parliamentary brain tumor interest group as well as Federal and State governments. It aims to promote awareness about public policy issues of concern to the brain tumor community.
A Freecall phone number, available within Australia is 1800 857 221, where you can speak to someone who knows what it is like to travel the brain tumor highway. For further information, contact secretary@btaa.org.au
