About the Peer Support Program

The Brain Injury Association of Tasmania have a Brain Injury Peer Support Program for people impacted by brain injury, their families and carers.

Our aim is to support people to come together to share, learn and connect with others and help them to move forward to have a good life.

The BIAT Peer Support Program includes:  

  • Face-to-face Peer Support groups in Hobart, Launceston and Ulverstone
  • Online state-wide Peer Support groups via Zoom
  • Closed Facebook Peer Support groups
