Do you have knee osteoarthritis?

Researchers from Adelaide University are inviting adults living in Adelaide, South Australia with knee osteoarthritis (OA) to take part in a community-based peer mentorship program called OA Champions.

Peer mentorship involves personalised one-to-one support between two people with the same condition – one who has been trained to deliver the program (the Mentor) and one who is seeking support and advice (the Mentee).

The OA Champions program includes up to 6 one-to-one peer mentorship sessions, delivered by a trained Mentor. Learn the latest evidence-based ways to manage knee OA and connect one-on-one with someone who truly understands what you’re going through. Best of all, the program was designed by people with knee OA – and participation is free!

The program is currently recruiting Mentees who would like support and advice to help manage their knee OA.

You are eligible to participate if you:

  • are 18 years of age or over
  • have knee osteoarthritis
  • currently live in or around Adelaide, South Australia
