Founded in 2012 by Kate & Hugh Daly after their twins were born, the Congenital CMV Association of Australia Inc. is the only not-for-profit organisation in Australia which focuses entirely on congenital Cytomegalovirus. “I created CMV Australia in the hope that other parents wouldn’t have to feel as alone as I did when William and Emmaline were diagnosed. I was also determined to do what ever I could to raise awareness about CMV so that other parents could have the opportunity I didn’t - to minimize their risk of contracting the virus in the first place.” - Kate Daly Governed by a volunteer Board of passionate parents and people affected by CMV the Congenital CMV Association of Australia is an Incorporated Association registered with both the NSW Department of Fair Trading and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission as a Health Promotion Charity with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) Status. The purpose of CMV Australia is to minimise the impact of congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) on all people in Australia and New Zealand. Our strategic goals focus on four key result areas to identify our priorities: 1. Support and empower people living with congenital CMV. 2. Raise awareness of congenital CMV through both health professional & public education initiatives. 3. Support, collaborate with and facilitate Australian research initiatives. 4. Build a sustainable, efficient and effective foundation to deliver from.
