Why Attend the MAA 5th National Patient Conference?

When was the last time you spent an entire day learning from Australia’s leading myasthenia gravis experts while surrounded by people who truly understand your journey?
On Saturday 31 October 2026, the Myasthenia Alliance Australia invites patients, carers, family members, health professionals and supporters to come together for a full day dedicated to education, connection and community.
Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed or have been living with MG for many years, this conference has been carefully designed to provide practical information you can take home and use.
Learn From Australia’s Leading MG Experts
Throughout the day you’ll hear from respected neurologists, researchers and clinicians who are helping shape the future of MG care in Australia.
Topics include:
• New and emerging MG therapies
• Current treatment options and practical considerations
• Clinical trials and the latest research
• Diagnostic advances and MGBase research
• Real-world research into heat and workforce participation
• Education, advocacy and resources available through the MAA
You’ll also have the opportunity to ask your own questions during a dedicated panel discussion with the conference speakers.
More Than Just Presentations
Some of the most valuable moments happen between the sessions.
Over morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea, you’ll have time to meet others living with MG, share experiences and build connections with people who genuinely understand the challenges and successes that come with the condition.
Whether you’re attending as a patient, family member, carer or healthcare professional, you’ll leave with new knowledge, fresh perspectives and meaningful conversations.
A Day Designed Around the MG Community
This isn’t a medical conference designed only for clinicians.
It’s a conference created specifically for the MG community, combining expert education with practical discussions and opportunities to connect with others in a welcoming and accessible environment.
If you’re looking to better understand MG, stay informed about the latest developments and become part of a supportive community, we’d love to welcome you.
