Not everyone in your life will understand just how challenging life with arthritis can be. Speaking with someone who has gone through it all before can really help.

Arthritis Assist is a telephone support service that can connect you with a fully trained peer mentor who lives with arthritis just like you. They understand what you’re going through and are there to listen when you need it. Register to speak with a peer-mentor here or phone 1800 011 041

Arthritis Queensland's online support groups are a caring space for people living with arthritis to connect and share support.

There are three groups including the Arthritis Men’s Support Group, Swell Gals and the Juvenile Arthritis Parents and Families group, which are supported volunteer Moderators who also live with arthritis and who help ensure the groups are a safe and respectful place for people to access support, and learn from others.
