The Elephant In The Room Campaign:
The Australian Wound Management Association (AWMA) has been lobbying key policy makers and the general public for over a decade in a bid to bring attention to the seriousness of chronic wounds as a significant social problem which demands urgent attention.
Wound patients have continuously fallen through the cracks in terms of Government funding, forcing sufferers to pay themselves, making wound products unaffordable to the poorest members of the community and people with wounds incapable of receiving proper treatment.
