Peer support

There are a number of in-person and online MS Peer Support groups across Adelaide, regional South Australia and Darwin offering support and connection for people living with MS, and their families and carers. Joining a support group is a great way to learn about MS, share experiences and make new friends.

Local MS Peer Support groups

Our MS Peer Support groups usually get together informally over coffee or a meal. The frequency of meetings is dependent on the group, but many of our support groups meet monthly. Some support groups gather to discuss specific multiple sclerosis issues and others get together for activities such as tennis and crafts.

Joining a support group is a great opportunity for people living with MS, and their families and carers, to meet new people and many of our members have made great friends. Our support groups are social and our members say they enjoy just getting together to learn about MS, share experiences, have a laugh and support each other.
