Queensland Association for Sleep Disorders is a very useful site with information about Gold Coast and Tweed Branches.
The volunteer support group of the Gold Coast-Tweed region sufferers of sleeping disorders held their first meeting in the garden of the Gold Coast Sleep Disorder Clinic in September of 1996, and progressed from there. Their region extends from Beenleigh to the Tweed Valley, including the Hinterland, and this support will soon be available in the Lismore area of N.S.W.
