Live & Learn Ep. 27: Thalassaemia and Sickle Cell Australia

Welcome to Episode 27 of Live & Learn. Megan speaks with Ella Luong, a Brisbane mum of two boys with Thalassaemia. Ella shares the challenges of managing regular hospital treatments while keeping her children engaged in school, and highlights the need for early planning, family support, and greater awareness of invisible illnesses.

Thalassaemia is a genetic blood disorder affecting the body’s ability to produce hemoglobin, leading to severe anemia and the need for lifelong treatment. Thalassaemia and Sickle Cell Australia (TASCA) supports Australians living with genetic haemoglobin conditions with education, advocacy, and connection. Learn more at www.tasca.org.au
