About us 

Sjögren’s Australia was founded in response to the frustration and isolation felt by patients across the country who were living with a lack of awareness, limited treatment options, and minimal research into Sjögren’s disease. For too long, this complex autoimmune condition has been overlooked, leaving patients to manage debilitating symptoms with little understanding or recognition from the wider community.

Our vision is clear: to see the lives of patients transformed by driving research toward a cure, while delivering progressive, patient-focused programs that empower and support every Australian affected by Sjögren’s. We believe that with stronger advocacy, increased research investment, and greater public awareness, we can change the future for people living with this disease.

Our commitment is to ease the burden of the Sjögren’s journey.

We do this through national advocacy efforts, creating meaningful opportunities for connection, and working to ensure access to better treatments. At the heart of everything we do is the drive to raise awareness, accelerate research, and expand support. By uniting patients, healthcare professionals, researchers, and the wider community, we are building a stronger voice and a brighter future for all Australians impacted by Sjögren’s disease.
