Millions of Australians with arthritis will have renewed hope for their futures as the government unveils millions of dollars in funding to tackle the painful condition.
With about one in four Australians living with arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions, the government will spend $100 million over 10 years to establish a research mission.
The mission aims to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the debilitating condition by combining researchers, health professionals, industry partners and patients.
