About BSSG — Boroondara Stroke Support Group

Supporting Stroke Survivors, Carers & Families in Victoria, Australia

Our Purpose & Vision

Stroke can be a life-altering event — medically, emotionally, and socially. Many survivors and carers struggle with isolation, access to consistent support, and navigating life beyond clinical care. BSSG bridges the gap between hospital-based rehabilitation and community-centred recovery, offering a safe, welcoming environment for individuals to connect, learn, and grow together.
