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 play & support groups both in person and online across Australia, so keep an eye out for a group close to you.
For upcoming catch ups visit our Events on the Facebook page.
