Boroondara Stroke Support Group Inc. (BSSG)
We provide social support to stroke survivors, their carers and family members living in and around the Boroondara area. In doing so, we hope to become a ‘bridge’ that enables stroke survivors and their carers to safely make the transition from clinical care in hospital to community care, and to start rebuilding their post-stroke lives.
Welcome To Our Community

President and former Carer, BSSG
Our President
My association with this invaluable organisation started in 2011. My late husband, Peter, had a severe stroke which left him with aphasia, intellectual difficulties and a vocabulary limited to a very few words.
At the BSSG we found all the things we needed: invaluable friendships, fun stimulating activities, concern, care and a wonderful amount of humour shared with others who had a similar experience.
I encourage anyone who is in need of the kinds of support that BSSG can provide to call us on (03) 8529 5307 or send an email to info@bssg.org.au
We will warmly welcome you and reassure you that you are not alone!
