Three simple steps

Joining the campaign is easy — all you need is a hand, a camera, and a desire to help Stop CMV.

1

Take a photo

Take a photo of your hand — or your family's hands — and write "Stop CMV" on your palm.

2

Send it to us

Email your photo to us at enquiries@cmv.org.au and we'll add it to our campaign gallery.

3

Share it

Share your photo on social media with the hashtag #StopCMV to spread awareness far and wide.

CMV is Australia's most common birth defect yet most people have never heard of it

Every hand photo raises awareness and helps us reach more people who need to know about CMV prevention. The more people know, the more babies we can protect.
