Thalassaemia Society of Victoria

Description
The Thalassaemia Society of Victoria
(TSV) was established in October 1979 by health professionals and members of the community affected by the condition. The TSV, which operates out of the Thalassaemia Centre in Melbourne, educates and distributes information about thalassaemia and other haemoglobin conditions, and seeks to improve the services available to those in need. The TSV is a member of the Australian Thalassaemia Association (ATA) and the Thalassaemia International Federation(TIF).

The Society works as a specialised community education service funded by the Department of Human Services (DHS). The TSV was established to provide some aspects of health care, support and counselling for people with thalassaemia related conditions and their families.
