Youth & Family Services

Most people don’t realise that kids get arthritis too.

In Australia 6,500 (1 in 800) children have juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

To help you and your family manage living with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, MOVE provides a range of support services:

Fun days and social activities: Meet with other kids and families and enjoy activities such as laser tag, bowling, water volleyball and swimming in wave pools.
National Help Line : Our nurses can help you understand the medical information you’re given, or that you find on the internet. They can also help you understand medications and treatments, and help you navigate through the complicated health and services systems. Contact the Help Line weekdays between 9.00am-4.00pm on 1800 263 265 or helpline@move.org.au.
The Worst Pain in the World by Nicky Johnston: This beautifully illustrated children’s book offers practical advice for children living with pain.
Kidsflix is a national project of Arthritis South Australia. Three times a year, MOVE families have the opportunity to enjoy a free new release movie, popcorn and entertainment.

If you’d like to find out more about these services call us on 1800 263 265 or email programs@move.org.au.
