About CDKL5 Australia

Who We Are

CDKL5 Australia is a community association run by Australian parents and carers of children with CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder.

We are not a research foundation. We exist to connect families, provide information, and be a credible point of contact for clinicians and researchers in Australia.

For clinicians, researchers, and industry partners

CDKL5 Australia is the Australia-side conduit between families and the global CDKL5 research effort. We engage directly on registry liaison, family-facing trial recruitment, and Australian regulatory pathway navigation, including the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), and the Special Access Scheme (SAS).

Our mission is to support Australian families, amplify their voice, and ensure CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder is understood and prioritised.
