“One tick bite changed everything.”
Last night, millions of Australians heard from Australians with Lyme disease:
Thank you to A Current Affair for shining a national spotlight on Lyme disease and tick-borne illness in Australia.
We are so grateful that members of our community were given the opportunity to share their stories. Our stories are too often dismissed, misunderstood, or left unheard.
Thank you Tanner, Tiffani, and LDAA President Sharon Whiteman for your courage in speaking out on national television 


You have helped show the reality of what a single tick bite can do; how it can turn a healthy life into a daily battle with debilitating symptoms.
In Australia, despite years of patient advocacy groups’ appeals to government, including two Senate inquiries, patients continue to face a lack of recognition and access to appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
We want the public to know that a tick bite can change your life. For tips on prevention, visit our website: https://lymedisease.org.au/?s=Prevention
