Stroke Association of Victoria (SAV)

The Stroke Association of Victoria (SAV) is driving an Australian-first program to support the thousands of people living with the effects of stroke in Victoria (~150,000 stroke survivors). We aim to provide every stroke survivor and carer access to the information, peer support and recovery activities they need to re-engage with their community.

We are developing Stroke Support Centres across Victoria, focused on ensuring community inclusion for stroke survivors. Our five established Stroke Support Centres, located in Geelong, Bendigo, Morwell, Ballarat and Shepparton, are highly successful and offer a space for stroke survivors and carers to continue their recovery through programs that increase skills and confidence to navigate their community independently.
