Registrations for the 3 August Brisbane-based event, have been coming in steadily, with conversation about and interest in the next Conference growing. Thank you to all those that have registered and paid!
Many people actively responded to MGAQ and MG NSW requests to apply promptly. As the MAA runs on an extremely low budget and our plans for this event are big, this really helps us manage commitments.

Reach out to your local Federal Member In support of a request for the drug Rituximab to be made available via the PBS for people with Myasthenia Gravis.
The MAA, supported by Dr Blum and others, has written in detail to Minister Hunt drawing to his attention the potential benefits of making Rituximab available via the PBS to people with Myasthenia Gravis and requesting that it be considered. Minister Hunt has written an initial response to this letter so he is aware of the communication.
The MGAQ operates a closed Facebook page for the Myasthenia Gravis community of Australia and New Zealand, currently with 209 members. The MGAQ Discussion Forum has been a great support for its members and we would like to give the same support to MG Carers, provided under the MGAQ banner.
