What is a CNE?

The Ehlers-Danlos Society Centres and Networks of Excellence (CNE) is a program that recognises health professionals who are leaders in the diagnosis, treatment and support of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD). Each CNE has to meet rigorous criteria for clinical care, research, training, and patient support. CNEs are dedicated to increasing the availability of clinical services, and level of clinical care, for people with EDS and HSD globally.

Services available Australia-wide.

The practitioners in our network work across Australia, offering both in-person and telehealth consultations. Our commitment to accessibility ensures that high-quality care is available to everyone, regardless of location. By providing telehealth services, we strive to reach individuals who may face barriers to accessing in-person care.
