National Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome Awareness Week

3 - 9 March, 2025

Resource Hub

We are proud to announce the launch of the inaugural National Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome Awareness Week, taking place from 3 – 9 March, 2025. This initiative is calling on all Australians to “Raise Your Voice, Save Lives, and Join us in the fight against Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes”.

This week long campaign aims to raise awareness of Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes and their life-threatening impact on thousands of families across the country, whilst also encouraging Australians to donate blood and stem cells – which are the only hope of survival for patients battling these devastating conditions.
