Young Stroke is an initiative of Stroke Foundation and is funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services.

This website was created with lived experts and the Lived Experience Working Group. We acknowledge the individual and collective expertise of those with a living or lived experience of stroke. We recognise their vital contribution at all levels. We value the courage of those who share this unique perspective to achieve better outcomes for all.
