ITP Awareness Week
2025 will be the 10th year that Global ITP Awareness Week has been launched internationally. Global ITP Awareness Week (22–28 September 2025) is a specially designated week during which individuals worldwide join together to promote public awareness of the rare autoimmune disease immune thrombocytopenia and spotlight the ITP patient experience.
As with many rare diseases, many of our ITP patients never get to meet another ITP patient in person. By lighting up iconic/historical landmarks across Australia, PURPLE, we are showing our support to local ITP patients and the wider ITP community and letting them know they are not alone. We want to help ITP patients to be seen, heard, and supported within their local communities and on the national stage. Illuminations raise awareness and offer all those impacted by this rare disease an opportunity for reflection.
As part of the global #LightUp4ITP campaign, we invite landmarks across Australia and New Zealand to light up Purple to support those living with ITP.
Old Treasury Building will be lit in purple for this event from sunrise to sunset.
