Migraine Australia Support Groups

The Migraine Warrior Support Network is our network of support groups that meet online and in person around the country, providing peer support to the millions of Australians living with migraine. Most are on Facebook but we are working to expand into other spaces.

Our friendly and non-judgmental groups are the perfect places to ask for recommendations for migraine-friendly businesses, health professionals and the like. We also organise meet-ups and social activities to provide support and make new friends.

These groups are safe spaces, so we ask that only people who live with migraine or care for those with migraine join these groups. 

JOURNALISTS/RESEARCHERS/RECRUITERS: please do not join our groups to find subjects for news stories or research or clinical trials about migraine. We are very happy to find subjects for you: contact [email protected].

If you are interested in joining a local group and can't see yours there, please let us know in the main chat group, or at [email protected].

Even better, if you would like to volunteer to help start or moderate a group please sign up here
