Support near you

There are stroke support groups across Australia, powered by stroke survivors, families and carers who want to see the benefits of peer support made available to as many people as possible.  Not every group is listed on our website, so if there is a stroke association in your state, it’s a good idea to check with them also.

Stroke associations operate in some Australian states and can help you to connect with other stroke survivors, carers and family members. Your state stroke association can help you find local information on support groups, as well as other information and resources.

Looking for an aphasia group? Check out the Aphasia Association website or the Aphasia Community

StrokeLine can help find the right group for you. Call 1800 787 653 or email strokeline@strokefoundation.org.au
