Wound Care Awareness Week  is an opportunity to inform the community about the importance of proper wound care. This year’s theme is “Let’s Talk About Wounds” to encourage more people to raise awareness of the rising issue of wounds, what the wound symptoms are, and encourage more people to go and see a wound specialist if their wound won’t heal.

With wounds costing the Australian health system $3 billion every year and nearly half a million Australians suffering from chronic wounds every day – it is important to spread awareness!

Get involved this July by:

  • Raising awareness on social media
  • Informing the community
  • Registering with the foundation
