Welcome to the CRKSG

Welcome to the Canberra Region Kidney Support Group (CRKSG) Inc web site. CRKSG is a patient self-help group made up of people with kidney failure and their families, carers and friends. This website aims to give members and non members of CRKSG a guide to our organisation and how we can help you.

The original CRKSG logo was designed by Sue Keunen. The logo represents the person as a whole, meaning that the whole person with kidney failure is to be supported. The CRKSG acknowledges the contribution made by Sue. The original logo has been in use for some years and a decision was taken to update the logo a little. The original design by Sue was retained but modernised a little.

We hope that you find our web site interesting and informative.

Where's Your Kidneys Mum?

Where's Your Kidneys Mum? is a childrens book written by Wendy Faulder. Wendy was a member of the Administration staff at The Canberra Hospital, Renal Unit.

This simple story based educational booklet will assist parents/grandparents with discussing the upcoming treatment with their families. It covers most questions that children regularly ask about dialysis.

If you are interested in purchasing a copy, a small fee of $5.00 per book + postage will be charged, which will be used as a donation to the Canberra Renal Outpatients Services in the ACT. To obtain a copy, please contact Renal Admin on 02 5124 2920 or email: RenalAdminStaff@act.gov.au
