Tyler's Story | Immunisation | Guest Book | Main Page
Sydney is a very large city (over 3.5 million people) and is continually and rapidly changing. As such, new support groups are springing up all of the time. There doesn't seem to be any central register that lists these groups or the services they provide (if anyone does know of one then please let me know). I will attempt to list some of the groups here that may help. Some will be well known such as the Spastic Centre and others not so well known such as Mercy Life. Where possible I will include any electronic access.
As the list grows I will try to categorise them more fully (some services will cater for more than one category and as such will be listed under all applicable categories). If you know of a group that I have missed then please let me know so I can include them.
