In 2013 the Phlebology Foundation of Australia (PFA) was formed as a charity dedicated to the field of phlebology through clinical, educational and research initiatives.

​

The Foundation is determined to better advance the highest standards of care for patients through the provision of medical treatment of various chronic venous diseases and vascular anomalies, expand clinical education capabilities and to broaden current research in the field of phlebology. This will be achieved through proactive collaborations with the ACP in both research and education initiatives.

​

For many patients, chronic venous disease is rarely understood as a treatable condition that can be managed and not just endured.
