Myeloma Support Groups
Designed to reach out across Australia to those affected by myeloma who currently have inadequate forms of support available to them; the ultimate aim being to help groups form and operate their own support groups with limited stewardship from the myeloma nurses.
If you are interested in starting a support group in your area, please contact the Foundation and we will try to assist you. Click here to email your details and you will be contacted by someone from MFA.

Support groups are held fortnightly in NSW and Victoria and bi-monthly in South Australia. Anyone interested in attending an existing Support Group meeting should contact one of our senior myeloma support nurses by clicking on the link below:
