Group

A group consists of two or more people. Each group practices the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of OA.

No member of a group is required to practice any actions to remain an OA member or to have a voice at a meeting.

Intergroup

Two or more groups can form an intergroup (IG). The intergroup provides services to existing

groups within its geographical area and spreads the OA message of recovery to those who still suffer.

Melbourne Intergroup meets on the first Saturday of the month (except January) from 10.00 am to 12.00 noon

at the OA Office, 70 Punt Road, Windsor

Region

OA has 10 regions worldwide that maintain direct communication with groups and intergroups.

Regions sponsor local conventions and assemblies. Regional assemblies also nominate trustee

candidates to serve on OA's Board of Trustees (BOT), whose members are elected at the

World Service Business Conference (WSBC).
