AbbVie & Patients Australia: Elevating Patient Voice and Lived Experience
Patients Australia partners with AbbVie around shared priorities in patient voice, lived experience and meaningful engagement in healthcare. Through this partnership, we support initiatives that recognise patient-focused leadership and create opportunities for patients to contribute directly to conversations about care, policy and system improvement.

About AbbVie
AbbVie is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing innovative medicines for people living with serious and complex health conditions. AbbVie advances therapies across areas such as immunology, oncology, neuroscience and eye care, supporting improved outcomes for patients through scientific research and ongoing investment in healthcare.
Achieving Impact
AbbVie supports Patients Australia’s work to elevate patient voices through targeted sponsorship and engagement initiatives. As the sponsor of the Outstanding Patient-Focussed Journalism Award at the Patients Australia Awards Gala 2025, AbbVie helps recognise journalists whose work centres patient experiences and highlights issues that matter to people navigating the health system.
AbbVie also supported Patients Australia’s patient forum held in October 2025, creating a dedicated space for patients to share their experiences, challenges and insights on key health issues. The forum was designed to ensure patient perspectives were heard, documented and reflected in broader healthcare discussions.
This support strengthens Patients Australia’s ability to amplify lived experience, promote patient-centred storytelling and create meaningful opportunities for patients to contribute to conversations about healthcare in Australia.
