Kidney Health Australia is a not-for-profit organization that serves as the national peak body for kidney health in Australia, coordinating activities across research, advocacy, education, and support for people affected by kidney disease. Based in Southbank, Victoria, it operates as a nationwide entity focused on reducing the impact of kidney disease on the population, where about 1.7 million Australians live with the condition and daily deaths from kidney-related disease are a concern. By 2018, the organization marked its 50th year of activity, reflecting a long-standing presence in the field. In 2022, Kidney Health Australia launched the Big Red Kidney Bus in Sydney, an upgraded mobile dialysis unit that travels across New South Wales and stations at multiple locations for extended deployments. These outreach efforts illustrate the organization's regional service delivery beyond a fixed presence.
