Mates and Dates Focus Groups

We want to hear from you!

Are you living with a disability in Victoria? Join our online focus groups to tell us what you want from our next Mates & Dates events.

Our Mates & Dates events cover a range of in person events that we run across Victoria to help people with disability make new connections, whether that be meeting new friends, socialising or dating.

Ahead of launching our 2025 event season we’d love to hear from you about what you want these events to look like.
