πŸ’œ Calling All Graphic Designers!! We Need Your Help πŸ’œ

At HS Australia, we're powered entirely by volunteers who generously give their time, skills, and passion to support people living with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS).

As we prepare for a number of exciting awareness events, community activities, and advocacy projects, we're looking for a volunteer graphic designer who can help bring our vision to life. Students, emerging designers, and experienced professionals are all welcome to get involved.

Whether it's social media graphics, event promotions, educational resources, awareness campaigns, or helping us create materials that make people stop and take notice, your skills could make a real difference.

HS affects thousands of Australians, yet many people have never even heard of it. Good design helps us tell stories, share information, advocate for change, and most importantly, help people living with HS feel seen, understood, and supported.

If you're a designer looking to use your talents for a meaningful cause, we'd love to hear from you. Even a few hours will have a huge impact.

Please comment below, send us a message, or tag someone who might be interested. Email [email protected]

Together, we can raise awareness, reduce stigma, and create a future where nobody faces HS alone.
πŸ’œ Thank you for supporting the HS community. πŸ’œ

πŸ’œ Thank You, Australia πŸ’œ

As HS Awareness Week comes to a close, we're incredibly grateful to every landmark, organisation, supporter, volunteer, healthcare professional, advocate, and community member who helped light up the country purple.

Every photo shared, every conversation started, and every purple light has helped bring greater awareness to Hidradenitis Suppurativa.

Together, we've made HS a little more visible. Thank you for helping us shine a light on HS. πŸ’œ

The week may be ending but the work continues all year. Keep connected for upcoming events, workshops and opportunities to help create change in the HS community.

Remember our scavenger hunt continues all June so get creating, exploring and finding those purple items.

πŸ’œ DID YOU KNOW? πŸ’œ

Hidradenitis Suppurativa can impact anyone. One of the biggest misconceptions about Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is that it only affects certain types of people or genders or ages.

The truth? HS can affect people of all ages, genders, body types, ethnicities, and backgrounds.

Many people develop symptoms during their teens or early adulthood, but HS can begin at almost any age. It does impact women 3:1 compared to men and can present visually different on different skin colours.

The more we understand that anyone can develop HS, the closer we get to reducing stigma and improving early diagnosis.
