Branches and Support Groups

There are over 44 Arthritis NSW branches and support groups throughout New South Wales. These comprise of members who join together to support each other and to gain knowledge about their condition to better understand how to manage it.

Most branches meet monthly and discuss various topics related to arthritis and osteoporosis and usually have a guest speaker. Most importantly these branches offer support and build friendships.

Call 1800 011 041 or info@arthritisnsw.org.au to find out how you can get involved.

Branches are the local face of Arthritis NSW in their communities, they work tirelessly to promote arthritis and educate the community about the condition. They are vital to Arthritis NSW fundraising activities.

Everyone at the Sydney office of Arthritis NSW would like to thank our branches and support groups for the great work they do!
