Osteoporosis Australia
About
Healthy Bones Australia (formerly Osteoporosis Australia) is a national health charity dedicated to preventing and managing osteoporosis in Australians. The organisation focuses on education, awareness, and risk reduction for bone health, working with healthcare professionals, researchers, and the general public to reduce the 173,000+ fractures annually caused by osteoporosis.
Tips for Applicants
Given the organisation's focus on education and awareness rather than traditional grantmaking, potential partners should emphasise projects that align with their public health mission—particularly bone health education, prevention programs, or research collaboration. Check their website for current initiatives and partnership opportunities.
Giving Philosophy
Healthy Bones Australia supports bone health through public education, risk assessment tools (like the Know Your Bones online test developed with Garvan Institute), and advocacy for secondary fracture prevention. Their work emphasises prevention, early detection, and improving clinical care for those affected by osteoporosis.
