Victoria
Welcome to the Victorian Home Page
Welcome to Victoria.
Victoria is an ideal place for all sorts of activities. We have wonderful mountains, great beaches and diverse natural environments. For those living in the Melbourne area, including Geelong and Frankston, whether your interest is in motor sports, food, fashion, shopping, comedy theatre or the arts you are sure to find a festival or event just right for you.
Depending on where you live, in Victoria we have support groups in the following areas:
Melbourne West covering RAAF Base Williams (Laverton and Point Cook), Williamstown, Victoria Barracks and Geelong/Queenscliff areas.
Melbourne North covering Simpson Barracks, Maygar Barracks and families living in areas such as Greensborough, Epping and South Morang. This group also assists families living in the Bulleen, Burwood, Blackburn areas.
If you are living in the Frankston/Mornington areas, please give us a call or have a look at our home page. Just because we don't have a support group currently in that area doesn't mean that you can't access support and information and participate in our events.
If you don't live in these areas, please contact the National Coordinator on 1800 037 674 for information on local services and supports.
