The Mid-West Amputee Support Group is part of a larger amputee support network. The Amputee Association of NSW Inc. was formed in 1989 to offer a stronger voice on behalf of all amputees living in NSW. The Mid-West Branch, established in 1996, is a coordinated effort by amputees and their families to support encourage and champion the needs of fellow and new amputees within the Mid-West NSW region.
