Patient and Carer Education

We support everyone affected by lymphoma including CLL. Whether you are newly diagnosed, your lymphoma has become relapsed or refractory, you’re a long-term survivor, or a care partner – we’re here to support you as you navigate lymphoma.

As part of that support, the Lymphoma Australia provides education and support services to the Australian lymphoma community. We team up with experts to host programs providing clear, easy-to-use information to help you understand and navigate the lymphoma experience. Lymphoma Australia is always by your side.

On this page you will find our upcoming education events that you can register for, and links to recordings of past education session that you can watch.

Webinars and In-person Education events

Webinars and in person education events are led by lymphoma experts who discuss the diagnosis and treatment of specific lymphoma subtypes and key research and treatment updates.

Recommeded for:

  • Webinars are virtual, online events and are a great way for all people affected by lymphoma to get the latest information, from the comfort of your own home. This allows us to provide you with meaningful education and updates in lymphoma, no matter where you live. While they are not as interactive as in-person events, we do provide opportunities at the end of each webinar for you to ask the speaker questions.
  • In-person events are great for those who enjoy an interactive, face-to-face experience. These events give you opportunities to meet others affected by lymphoma. You can also meet the speakers and Lymphoma Australia team in-person.
