As the national peak body for Australians living with a rare disease, Rare Voices Australia (RVA) engages with several national and international connections. Building and maintaining these relationships ensures RVA remains actively involved in the latest developments in rare disease, both in Australia and globally. Additionally, one of the critical enablers of the Australian Government’s National Strategic Action Plan for Rare Diseases full implementation is ‘State, national and international partnerships’.
