<p>The Australasian Lymphology Association (ALA) strives to promote excellence in all aspects of lymphoedema and other oedemas across Australasia. From primary to secondary lymphoedema, paediatrics to geriatrics, from the genetic development of the lymph system, to clinical-based assessment and treatment, the ALA has been instrumental in the recognition of this condition. Areas including education, committees associated with the development of assessment standards, subjective and objectives assessment and those to do with the lymphoedema workforce have been just some areas of work achieved by the ALA.</p>
