Join us in support for people with ME/CFS

ME/CFS has finally been counted. Refunding Emerge Australia will help ensure that recognition leads to real change

Recognition without infrastructure is just words. The AIHW AIHW Burden of disease study data, the NHMRC Clinical guidelines for ME/CFS, the National strategic framework for chronic conditions, the Parliamentary Friends of ME/CFS committee; all of these create opportunities. None of them, on their own, deliver support to a housebound patient in regional Queensland, or change the mind of a GP who believes these patients are making it up, or help a carer navigate a NDIS application their loved one doesn’t have the capacity to complete.

Emerge Australia converts recognition into action. That is what eight years of service delivery, advocacy, research and relationship-building has produced: an organisation positioned, right now, to be the delivery mechanism for this historic policy moment.
