Throughout October, we are dedicated to raising awareness about pituitary conditions and their impact on patients and their families. ‘Pituitary Awareness Month’ is the perfect time to learn more about these conditions, including signs and symptoms, treatments, and available support.
Our goal is to provide education and support to those who are affected by pituitary conditions, as well as to encourage early detection and diagnosis. We believe that by increasing awareness, we can improve the lives of those living with pituitary conditions and their families.
To celebrate ‘Pituitary Awareness Month’ in 2022, we organised a series of fun family-friendly events in Melbourne, Sydney, and on the Gold Coast. These events aimed to educate the public about pituitary conditions while also providing a supportive community for those affected by them.
Our initiatives for ‘Pituitary Awareness Month’ 2023 are still in progress, however, if you wish to join us in raising awareness about pituitary conditions, please reach out by emailing us at support@pituitary.asn.au
