Why Attend?

Living with a rare condition can sometimes feel isolating, but you are not alone.

The National Patient Conference brings together people from across Australia to build connections, gain practical knowledge and hear directly from experts who are helping shape the future of MG care.

Whether you’ve been recently diagnosed or have lived with MG for many years, you’ll leave with greater confidence, valuable insights and meaningful connections within the community.
