Dementia Australia operate support groups for those caring for a family member or friend with dementia. The groups provide support to members and allow them to cope by sharing their feelings and experiences, offering family carers a break and a chance to get out of the house, helping others through the sharing of ideas and information and giving family carers an opportunity to talk through problems they are facing or choices they have to make.

• Calvary Retirement Community, Bruce (monthly)
• Hellenic Club in Phillip (twice monthly)
• Younger Onset Dementia at the Hellenic Club in Phillip (monthly)
• Dementia Australia in Kaleen (monthly)
