Welcome to the MPN Alliance Australia website

MPN stands for myeloproliferative neoplasms – a group of rare, chronic blood cancers that include essential thrombocythaemia (ET), polycythaemia vera (PV), and myelofibrosis (MF).

MPN Alliance Australia is a volunteer organisation run by people living with MPNs, for people living with MPNs and their families.

Our website aims to provide support, connection, and reliable, up-to-date information in one place.

We are also committed to supporting Australian MPN research and hope to raise funds to help advance new discoveries and improve outcomes for people living with an MPN.

We welcome your feedback and ideas. If you would like to suggest improvements to the website, resources or share your experiences, please get in touch.

Together, we can continue to build a supportive and informed MPN community.
