Face-to-face Groups

We have a strong network of 22 face-to-face Peer Support Groups all across Queensland.  Our group members are people with disability, and we come together to connect, lead, inform, and influence.

We believe there is ‘nothing about us without us’.

Our peer groups are peer-led and are an inclusive place for people with disability to get together.

Online Groups

We have online peer support group meetings so you can connect with other people with disability from anywhere in Queensland.  All our groups are peer-led and are an inclusive place for people with disability to get together.  We come together to connect, lead, inform, and influence.

We have a number of groups around different topics and areas of interest like our QDN Y group for young people, our MAC Group for people over 65 and our self-management group. If you need information about how to join a group on-line, we will email you an invitation with steps on how to join the meeting using zoom.

We have made it easy and free for you to join. Find the location or online group you would like to join below, then contact us!
