A comprehensive study of the Australian digital media industry - including the latest systems, software, technologies and production pipelines - is not readily available, making it difficult for Training Package developers to create up-to-date, flexible, meaningful and transferable qualifications.

Ada and Harry DeBold History of the National Kidney Foundation The National Kidney Foundation was established in 1950 by Ada DeBold in an effort to save the life of her young son who had been diagnosed with pediatric nephrosis. In a heroic goal to find a cure, Ada brought together a group of clinicians and researchers from around the United States to share their findings and develop new approaches to understanding and treating the disease. The collaboration that resulted from Ada’s efforts to raise awareness, encourage research and provide support and treatment formed the basis of the National Kidney Foundation. Mission The National Kidney Foundation is dedicated to preventing kidney and urinary tract diseases, improving the health and well-being of individuals and families affected by kidney disease, and increasing the availability of all organs for transplantation. The National Kidney Foundation is proud to be the leading organization in the United States dedicated to the awareness, prevention and treatment of kidney disease, and we aim to share our knowledge with those at risk, those affected by kidney disease and all those who care for and about them.
