Lymphoma Australia offers both online and in person support groups throughout the year. These support groups aim to provide you and your carer or family with an opportunity to connect with other people affected by lymphoma to develop friendship, peer support and learn together to better understand your lymphoma.Â
Also on this page, you will find information about our online closed forum for patients and carers in Australia and New Zealand (Facebook group Lymphoma Down Under), and other social media links.Â
Upcoming Support Groups
Below you will find a list of upcoming Support Groups you can register for. These are great if you want to connect with others affected by lymphoma. These chats are supported with a nurse from Lymphoma Australia who can answer your questions or help you get the right information, but they are more informal and led by you, the patients or carer. These sessions let you share your experiences, concerns, learn from each other and get peer support.
