 Welcome to the RSI/OOS Association Webpage

We’re a non-profit organisation based in the Australian Capital Territory and we’re dedicated to providing a support network for people in Australia with repetitive strain injuries or OOS. RSI is a very common injury among workers in Australia today, affecting computer professionals, hairdressers, butchers, assembly-workers, painters and other trades.

We aim to help people cope with RSI by providing information on every aspect of RSI, including treatments, compensation and the law, and the latest medical research from Australia and overseas. We also maintain links with overseas RSI Associations in the UK, the Netherlands and the U.S.
