More than just Rockhampton and Yeppoon, the Capricornia Peer Support Group covers the whole Central QLD region. Patricia Marsh is the Convener of this group and we also welcome new members.

We also have regular speakers such as local council representatives and others that will talk about housing, education, transport and even planning for an emergency such as cyclone.
There are two ways that you can join this monthly Peer Support Group, in-person or online via Zoom.
The Capricornia Group meets monthly on the last Thursday of the month from 9:30am to 11:30am, at The Hub Yeppoon 7-9 James Street and online via Zoom.

The logo is a speech bubble with bright coloured graphics of people around the edge and the words Peer Support Groups in the middle and the text below saying Connecting people with disability.

Peer support is talking to people who are on the same level. By having conversations within the peer support group network it alleviates stress and trauma, to have peers with lived experiences that can inform others as well as having guests that come to meetings with knowledge and experience of relevant information that can be passed on to other peers and peer networks.”
