Kidney Supportive Care
How we can help you
We provide support for you if you are living with chronic kidney disease or end stage kidney disease. We support you from your initial diagnosis until you are nearing the end of your life.
Chronic kidney disease means your kidneys are damaged and can’t filter blood the way they should. The disease is called “chronic” because the damage to your kidneys happens slowly over a long period of time. This damage can cause wastes to build up in your body and other health problems.
We have specialised nurses who coordinate your care and work with dieticians, social workers and specialised renal doctors (nephrologists). Our team will help you manage your symptoms and health problems. We provide physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual care to support you and your family or carers.
Our clinic appointments are located in the Kidney Care Centre.
