Our Team
We have a small and committed team of part-time staff who work from home. They each bring different skills to the TSA (Tuberous Sclerosis Australia) team but they are all passionate about using their skills and experience to help create a better life and more hopeful future for everyone affected by TSC (Tuberous Sclerosis Complex). Our team is supported by a voluntary Management Committee and Regional Contacts around Australia. If you would be interested in volunteering with TSA, please contact us.
