The ME/CFS/FM Support Association Qld Inc. (formerly known as the
ME/CFS/FM Support Association Toowoomba Inc. offers a warm welcome to all
persons with an interest in ME/CFS/FM. Our organisation provides friendship,
encouragement and support for one another, whilst disseminating information re
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia.
Since inception, the outreach of our organisation has extended not only to Toowoomba and
surrounding districts, but also to various other locations in Queensland and beyond; in
response to requests made for help and information. There is also interchange with other
ME/CFS & FM Support Societies in New Zealand, South Africa, U.K., Canada, and U.S.A;
as well as those within Australia.
Although situated on the crest of the Great Dividing Range, 120km west of
Brisbane, in July 2004, the Department of Queensland Health asked us to become the peak body for all sufferers of ME/CFS/FM throughout Queensland.
Thanks to the generosity of the Sisters of Charity Outreach Centre, in conjunction with St. Vincent's Hospital, our association moved into a 3 bedroom house which we have established as our office and drop in centre. The office hours are 10am - 3pm Monday to Friday and people are welcome to drop in for a cuppa and a chat. There is even a day bed that can be used if you are visiting from out of town or if you are out and need to have a rest.
