Are there any support groups in Australia?

Hi, I'm in queensland and just wandering if there are any support groups in Brisbane or surrounding areas? There seems to be a real lack of support within Australia for any BP injuries, probably due to Australia's low population and geography.

Thanks

Hi

I am not sure if there are any support group locally - I too live near BNE. However, there is a great Brachial Plexus Clinic that is run out of the Royal Childrens Hospital in Melbourne. My bub receives treatment there on an ongoing basis.

If you hear of any support networks, I would love to know.
