Coffee & Connection

Join us for a monthly social group hosted by ParaQuad Tasmania, designed to foster peer connection, community engagement, and wellbeing for people with spinal cord injury and physical disability. The group will meet at Rivulet Café in South Hobart and offer participants a free coffee, courtesy of ParaQuad Tasmania, as part of a welcoming and inclusive social catch-up.

Important Notes

• Places are strictly limited to 16 participants (including support persons), so we encourage you to register promptly.
• Complimentary coffees are reserved for participants with disability.
• Support persons (carers) are very welcome; however, they also need to register for capacity purposes.

Purpose

• To reduce social isolation and encourage peer connection among ParaQuad members.
• To create a relaxed and regular opportunity for individuals with physical disability to engage with others who share lived experiences.
• To support ongoing wellbeing and build stronger community ties in a casual, accessible setting.
