Founded in Sydney in 1994 by pituitary patients and family members, the Australian Pituitary Foundation (APF) is a national not-for-profit organisation, established to provide valuable support and information for adults and children, along with their families, living with pituitary conditions. It is our priority to create a safe space and sense of community for these individuals, whilst empowering them and their families with relevant and easy to digest information.
APF provides valuable support and information for patients, and their families, living with pituitary conditions. But that’s not all! We are also committed to raising much-needed awareness and advocacy within the community about pituitary conditions, as well as vital funds to go towards research into the screeningtesting for cancer or conditions that can lead to cancer before symptoms appear, also known as cancer screening, diagnosisthe process of identifying a disease based on signs and symptoms, patient history and medical test results, and treatment of these conditions.
As a foundation, we work alongside global pharmaceutical organisations that conduct vital research into the screening, diagnosis, and treatment of pituitary conditions. We align ourselves with leading Endocrinologists, Endocrine Nurses, Neurosurgeons, ENT specialists, Radiation Oncologists and GPs, to ensure we are always working from the latest point of medical knowledge.
