Online Support
Support forums take place in our private facebook groups where you can post your questions, support, ideas etc. A private group means whilst anyone can see the group and who's in it, only members see posts.
Our main facebook group is:
Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders Australian Support Network - ausEE
We also have an additional closed facebook group dedicated to adults with an EGID:
Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders for Adults - ausEE
ausEE has an official livewire group for young people aged 12 to 20 years old.
Join Livewire here and once approved join ausEE’s group called The Official ausEE Group
Virtual Support Group Chats
Our virtual support groups are an opportunity to share and hear stories, chat and support each other. They are informal and we also have special guests from time to time. Come join us - we’d love to e-meet you!
Please register your email here to be invited to our next virtual support group.
Visit our events calendar for upcoming dates.
