Stroke Association of Victoria Inc.

As the only dedicated community-based support service for stroke survivors, people with acquired brain injuries (ABIs) and their carers, loved ones and families, we aim to bridge the gap from when they leave clinical care, return home, face challenges of transitioning back into community and workplaces, challenges adapting to their new role as carers, and seek to establish the "new norm”.

What activities does the group undertake throughout the year?

Peer social participation groups, skill development and assisted activities, social outings, recreational activities, community linkages and support to access the community, and community outreach. Through our Vocation Support Program, we help participants to establish vocation goals, increase their employability and confidently return to meaningful employment and/or further studies.

Is there a cost?

No

Can the person I care for attend the carer support group meetings with me?

Yes

Does the location where you meet have wheelchair access?

Yes
