Support groups
PLEASE NOTE: ASPIA is in the process of changing how we provide support. Our formal support group meetings are no longer being conducted, but instead we will meet for a lunch get-together every three months in Sydney or surrounds. Please check the homepage for up to date information, or contact us using the contact form if you wish to be informed about events.
