There are currently 16 Polio Support Groups spread across Victorian metropolitan and country areas. Polio Support Groups (PSG's) are established and run by local members. As such, their mode of operation will vary according to each group's needs.
The Polio Community Officer is in regular contact with PSG co-ordinators and visits each PSG on a rolling schedule throughout the year.

In general the PSG's aim to:

• offer mutual support to people who have had polio, their families and carers.
• provide an opportunity for people who have had polio to meet socially to exchange information and share ideas.
  
• identify and lobby local agencies and organisations on the needs and rights of people with disabilities.
• promote and support the goals and activities of Polio Network Victoria.
