Peer Support Groups

Our Peer Support Groups connect people with lived experience with physical disability to share their experiences, advocate for inclusive communities, hear from special guest speakers and talk about the issues that matter.

Our Groups hold regular catch-ups across Queensland and Western Australia and are great way to stay informed and connected with your local community.

Anyone with experience in spinal cord damage (including injury and medical conditions), the late effects of polio and transverse myelitis is welcome to join by becoming a member of Spinal Life.

We also provide Peer Support services for members seeking one-on-one advice or guidance about living with spinal cord damage.
