The Australian Pituitary Foundation (APF) is a not-for-profit organisation aiming to provide support and information for patients and families living with pituitary disorders, healthcare professionals and the public.

The objectives of APF are to:

· provide a forum for the exchange of information and ideas as well as for the discussion of problems related to pituitary disorders

· promote public awareness of pituitary disorders and the need for government support

· act as a resource group providing support and disseminating information

· encourage scientific research for the prevention, alleviation, care, treatment and cure of pituitary disorders

APF holds regular seminars for patients, carers and clinicians to discuss the up-to-date management options available for pituitary patients. These seminars are presented by Australia's leading endocrinologists, neurosurgeons, radiologists and endocrine nurses who have an extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of pituitary disorders. The seminar programs also include perspective from patients on their experience of living with pituitary disorders.
