  • What is Albinism Support?

    NDIS Albinism Support

    Albinism is an ultra-rare inherited genetic condition that is present from birth. A child may be born with Albinism if their parents are also affected by the condition or carry the gene for Albinism.

    There are many different ways to support people living with Albinism. While treatment is often focused on protecting against the harmful effects of UV radiation, some individuals need additional assistance to fully engage in daily life and their community. Fortunately, a wide range of support services is available, ensuring that people with Albinism can maintain a high quality of life without limitation.
