Living with Bone and Joint Conditions – Community Conversation

Ref: HPI20632 Date: 25 March 2026, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pmLocation: TBA - Nedlands, WA

This Community Conversation will bring together people living with skeletal disorders – such as osteoporosis and fractures, osteoarthritis, bone cancer or cancer that has spread to bone, and bone growth or development conditions – as well as family members and carers.

In a relaxed, small-group setting, we’ll talk about what everyday life is like with these conditions, what good care means to you, and what you feel is missing. Our research team is especially interested in how nutrients and metabolism in bone and bone marrow contribute to these disorders, and whether targeting metabolism could offer new ways to prevent or treat bone problems.

Your insights will help shape future bone and joint research and strengthen funding applications, so they better reflect the priorities of people with lived experience. All feedback will be de-identified, and you can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable.

Experience required:

Lived experience of skeletal disorders (such as osteoporosis, fractures, osteoarthritis, bone cancer/bone metastasis, or bone growth/development conditions) and/or their family members or carers.

An $80 honorarium (gift card) is offered to attendees and light refreshments will be provided on the night. Registrations are essential. Please complete the Expression of Interest (EOI) form below if you’d like to be considered for this Community Conversation. Because we aim to include a range of perspectives and lived experiences, places are limited and EOIs will be reviewed to ensure a balanced mix of participants with the relevant lived experience.
