 Local Support Networks

We understand how lonely and isolated you can feel when no one around you has experience with hip dysplasia. We can connect you with people in your area and organise catch ups both in person and online, via Facebook, across Australia:

Facebook peer support groups for parents/cargivers of children with hip dysplasia:

WA
SA & NT
QLD
NSW & ACT
VIC
TAS

We appreciate that families whose children require surgical treatment have additional questions to those being braced. The following peer support group unites families across Australia in this situation:

Spica Families Australia

Hip dysplasia treatment doesn’t always start, nor end, during the early years of life. This peer support group unites families across Australia facing the commencement of treatment, or ongoing treatment:

DDH Support Australia – Parents of older children (4+)

For upcoming catch ups visit our Events on the Facebook page.
