About Lupus Australia

The Lupus Support Group of Qld., Inc., first recorded meeting on the 11th of September, 1993. The group received its certificate of incorporation on the 27th of May 1994, became a registered charity on the 19th October, 1994 and achieved tax exemption and tax deductibility status on the 15th May, 1995. All the major milestones achieved in less than two year. The firm ground laid for this vital self help group by the committed executive has seen growth from just a handful in 1993 to 277 members in 1995 to Lupus Australia, Qld Inc now over 800.

The Lupus Australia, Queensland Incorporated is a non-profit, largely volunteer-driven charity. It is committed to providing support and education for its members; to raising awareness of Lupus and its impact among Lupus sufferers, their families and friends, health professionals and the general public; and to encourage research into the cause of and cure for Lupus.
