Becoming a corporate member of the Silicosis Support Network demonstrates an organisation’s commitment to assisting sufferers of Silicosis, their families and carers and the raising of awareness of the dangers of silica exposure.
The Silicosis Support Network (SSN) aims to create a community where we all work together to:
• support sufferers of an Silicosis related disease, their family or carers; and
• prevent Silicosis exposure in the workplace and community;
• lobby for improvements on Silicosis related matters;
• work with the health community to aid in better understanding of Silicosis related disease;
• where possible fund research into Silicosis related diseases.
Our ethos is to assist sufferers to remain at home for as long as possible and as independent as possible even within the health care environment.
We are a national organisation but confine our activities to Queensland, Northern Territory and Northern New South Wales.
People and Organisations pay a fee to join SSN to show their commitment to the community and assist us in lobbying activities for improvements for sufferers or for protections against Silicosis exposure.
