The cure for myeloma is now closer than ever before and our researchers can feel it in their grasp. We at Myeloma Australia with our Medical and Scientific Advisory Group are determined to lead the pathway to cure for myeloma.

To achieve this, we need to; develop new treatments and refine existing treatments, develop and implement more sensitive diagnostic and monitoring tools, provide trusted information about these new treatments and tests and ensure they are available when and where they are needed, provide wholistic physical and mental wellbeing support to allow for best responses to treatments.

The Myeloma Impact Fund has a goal to raise $10 million per year for 10 years as this is what it will take to make a cure a reality for all Australians living with myeloma.

The Myeloma Impact Fund will facilitate activities in the following important areas of impact:
