Links to Support Groups and Associations
There is always help out there, and many people have set up small or large groups to assist people with particular diseases as well as to fundraise and publicise the problems and perform research. Here is just a sample of Australian societies. Many are non-profit.
Most of these websites will have links to regional or related support groups. Mostly I have listed national societies on this page. There are also many groups outside Australia that may be of assistance, and many more in Australia.
