The Myeloma Australia Information and Support Groups are currently being held on Teams video conferencing. Please see our calendar of events for details about your local groups and how to participate.
Please familiarise yourself with our Information and Support Group Agreement which details expectations of the group to ensure it is a safe and supportive space.

Myeloma Australia’s Information and Support Groups are informal gatherings for people living with myeloma, their family and friends. These meetings provide a safe space to meet other members of the myeloma community to share their experiences of living with myeloma, and to learn from various guest speakers from a health management and practical perspective.

If you would like to enquire about your nearest support group or starting a new support group please contact nurses@myeloma.org.au or call the Telephone Support Line 1800 693 566.

National Online Partners and Carers Group

A group for people who are supporting someone living with myeloma. We ask that only partners and carers attend to ensure information shared remains relevant to the vital role of the carer.
