Dealing with melanoma is challenging, don't do it alone - "I discovered Melanoma Patients Australia and the MPA support group which was a lifesaver. We discussed options, cried, and I didn't feel so alone."
Support
MPA is an independent, not for profit organisation dedicated to supporting and representing those affected by melanoma. We provide many services to assist people on their journey with melanoma including: emotional support and information, education, peer to peer connections and support groups both online, on the phone and face to face. Our vision is creating a world where no one affected by melanoma walks alone.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, an expert advisory panel has been established for each cancer type to provide guidance to doctors as well as support for patients during this time. This is a joint initiative of the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre and Monash Partners Comprehensive Cancer Consortium.
Melanoma Patients Australia is here to help you. We are committed to providing patient-focused services for all Australians affected by melanoma. We provide information, guidance, support and assistance for family, friends and carers of those affected by melanoma.
The services we provide include:
Providing evidence based information over the phone, via written materials and at our information forums.
Connections and support via our groups, social media and telephone link ups, enabling those affected by melanoma to share experiences and insights.
Including referrals to professional counselling and psychological support.
MPA is committed to working with government, clinicians and industry to improve the lives and outcomes of those affected by melanoma.
Supporting research and clinical trials that offer the best options for melanoma patients.
MPA provides an independent voice for the more than 15,229 people diagnosed with melanoma each year contributing to national panels and advisory boards.
