Peer network members portal
Connecting you with others who understand. Because you don’t need to walk alone.
Empowering people through peer support
Our Peer network members portal is a private online space where peer group members connect to other groups. You can chat with others who understand your journey, get advice and trusted information. Ask questions, share valuable resources and build meaningful connections.
As a member, you’ll also gain access to digital groups, peer facilitation training, and a moderated discussion space where you can openly share experiences and seek advice.
Build connections for a thriving life
Through peer connections, you’ll build confidence, leadership skills and gain knowledge to advocate for your needs and navigate services.
In meetings you can share ideas, seek advice, celebrate wins and troubleshoot challenges. Peer groups are a space to learn and grow together with your peers in a supportive environment.
“I found the peer group an absolute must do…because you have so much information there and you have fantastic support that gives you every single step you need to take”
~ Viv Huckle – Peer group member
Finding your community
Whether you’re seeking advice, celebrating achievements, or overcoming challenges, our peer groups offer a supportive space for members to share experience, exchange knowledge and grow together.
