You don't need a big group to make a big difference.

One person can start a Plasma for Life team.

Your team could include the people who have supported you through your journey — or simply people who want to help others understand the importance of plasma donation.

Friends. Family. Workmates. Community.

Start with you. We'll help with the rest.

💻 Webinar | Managing Fatigue with Immunodeficiency – Energy, Work and Daily Life

Living with an immunodeficiency often means managing fatigue that can be unpredictable, overwhelming and not relieved by rest. Join us for an informative webinar exploring why fatigue occurs, how it differs from burnout and everyday tiredness and practical strategies to help you better manage your energy.

We'll discuss the "boom-and-bust" cycle, introduce energy pacing techniques and explore ways to balance work, study and everyday life when energy is limited. The session will also cover the emotional impact of living with a chronic condition, workplace considerations such as reasonable adjustments and disclosure and practical tools to support your day-to-day wellbeing.

Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with an immunodeficiency for years, this webinar will provide practical tips and strategies to help you navigate daily life with greater confidence.

📅 Date: Wednesday 26 August
⏰ Time: 7 pm AEDT
📍 Location: Online
