Arthritis NSW (ANSW) is a health charity founded in 1967 to help improve the lives of people suffering from arthritis and related musculoskeletal conditions. 

As a peak body for arthritis support in NSW, ANSW works to empower the individual to manage their own condition and health. ANSW is a trusted source of evidence-based and up-to-date information on arthritis and its treatment, with education programs delivered across a number of platforms, including webinars, workshops and community awareness sessions.

The health services team develops and delivers exercise programs tailored to the needs of people affected by arthritis, such as the popular warm water exercise classes and strength program.

Each year, the organisation delivers two camps for children affected by juvenile arthritis: Camp Twinkletoes for children under 8 years old and their families, and Camp Footloose for children and young people aged 9 to 18 years.

Since 2018, ANSW has been committed to extending its reach to rural areas of NSW so often lacking in health services compared to their city counterparts. ANSW engages with the community through a network of support groups, publications such as Arthritis Matters, eNewsletter subscriptions, social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube and a toll-free Arthritis Infoline which connects callers with health professionals.

As a charitable organisation, ANSW recognises the generosity of its donors, sponsors and other supporters that enable the research, development and delivery of its valuable programs.
