Kidney Health Australia is proud to run kids and youth programs. They provide the chance to connect, have fun and grow more confident.
We want to support kids and youth to connect, have fun and grow more confident as they transition from paediatric to adult health care.
Connecting with other young people living with kidney disease can lead to lifelong friendships and offer much-valued peer support from someone who understands. Families and carers also benefit, by sharing experiences they can also feel part of a supportive environment and gain access to resources and information.
Kidney Es-capers is a new activity designed to support kids and teens living with kidney disease and their families. The two-day event connects local families for a weekend of fun activities, information sessions, network and support building opportunities and more.
Each year, the Kidney Kids Camp brings together children living with kidney disease and their siblings from across the country. The camp is held over four days, with an average of 100 kids. Children and young adults embark on a series of fun, confidence-building, peer-networking activities.
Our Kidney Youth Program helps young people transition from child to adult care through support, connection, and resources.
