Get Involved -
World Sepsis Day/ Sepsis September
Sepsis September (month of September) & World Sepsis Day (13th September) are are important dates in the calendar that encourage the community to come together to raise awareness of sepsis, a condition that kills approximately one Australian every hour (that's more than suicide, breast cancer or prostate cancer) We encourage workplaces, schools, sporting organisations and individuals to get involved and join us in helping promoting sepsis in our community. There are many simple ways that you can help spread the word about sepsis and we have created the following lists to help guide you on ways you can get involved.
Fundraising Ideas
