Welcome to the new ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome site for the Canberra region

Sunday, 13 March 2011 01:09

Welcome to the brand new website for the ACT ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Society. If you are a regular user of the old site you will notice we have kept the layout looking similar but we have added some additional features too.

Support meetings are now listed on a calendar styled page where you can view coming events and their details. You are now able to search the site using the search bar in the left hand column. Another large benefit of the new site is largely behind the scenes. It is running on new software which allows staff to update content. We are looking forward to a great 2011. If you think you could benefit from any of our services please get in touch.

Thank you for visiting.
