Arthritis & Osteoporosis WA has a number of support groups which are led by volunteers.

- Talk freely about your experiences and feelings in a safe non-judgmental environment
- Share helpful hints and practical tips
- Receive and give encouragement and support to others
- Socialise and make new friends
