Musculoskeletal Health Australia (MHA) is a national, consumer-driven not-for-profit organisation dedicated to improving Australia’s musculoskeletal health and supporting the 7 million+ Australians living with arthritis, back pain, and over 150 musculoskeletal conditions. For nearly 60 years, we have focused on improving the lives of individuals affected by these conditions by building health literacy, awareness, and access to evidence-based resources.

Our vision is that by 2050 all Australians will live free from the negative impacts of musculoskeletal conditions. MHA provides evidence based information, access to healthcare professionals on our helpline, webinars presented by experts in their field, and peer support to empower individuals, families and the wider community.

We advocate for effective treatments and improved quality of life for people affected by musculoskeletal disease. We work with researchers and academics to gather evidence that drives the delivery of accessible, affordable, and effective treatments, and are committed to prevention, awareness and understanding of the importance of good musculoskeletal health through lifestyle interventions, including nutrition and movement and the broader positive impacts this has on a person’s overall health and wellbeing.
