Osteogenesis Imperfecta Society of Australia

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder that causes a person's bones to break easily, often from little or no apparent trauma. OI is also called "brittle bone disease." OI varies in severity from person to person, ranging from a mild type to a severe type that causes death before or shortly after birth.

The OI Society Australia was formed in 1976 by parents and friends of those with OI in order to create a point of contact for newly diagnosed families.

From simple beginnings, a nation-wide community has grown – a community where people can freely exchange experiences, friendship and knowledge of OI and how to navigate the world with OI.
