About Cerebral Palsy Australia

Since 1952, Cerebral Palsy Australia (formerly known as CP Australia and the Australian Cerebral Palsy Association) has provided a national voice for cerebral palsy awareness.

Furthermore, Cerebral Palsy Australia has positively contributed to the community through research and development for children and adults with cerebral palsy.

The National Voice

We aspire to be the voice of cerebral palsy in Australia by elevating the concerns and experiences of the cerebral palsy community.

  • We hear and understand the priorities of people with cerebral palsy and raise these, as well as knowledge and awareness of cerebral palsy within the broader community.
  • We work with government, business and the community to promote inclusion, better health and social outcomes, and the human rights of people with cerebral palsy.
  • We ensure people have access to best-practice and accessible information to further understand cerebral palsy, those with cerebral palsy, their families and supporters.
  • We support and encourage improved awareness, understanding, service delivery and innovation in all aspects of life. These include health, aged care, social welfare and disability services that are accessed by people with cerebral palsy.
  • We connect with, and contribute to, an international community of practice.
