Annual Report 2023 -2024

The last 12 months has been very tough and challenging for CPSN and the cerebral palsy community, indeed for the world. However, we see a lot of positivity here at CPSN, with what people living with cerebral palsy are achieving and demonstrating that makes us sure the sector and the community will bounce back and continue to thrive and do amazing things.

A message from our CEO

This year, CPSN has sharpened its focus on delivering highly personalised and specialised services that truly meet the needs of our members. Despite economic constraints and sector challenges, we’ve prioritised quality and safety, tailoring individual supports, independent living, and specialist nursing services. Achieving NDIS Recertification is a testament to our dedication to service excellence and continuous improvement. We’ve also listened to our clients, refining our offerings to ensure we deliver what matters most. Thank you to our clients and their families for your trust and collaboration as we continue to navigate this evolving landscape together.

A message from our President & Chair

The past year has tested our resilience, but CPSN’s unwavering commitment to its mission has guided us through immense change. Our team has faced challenges with determination, ensuring we remain sustainable and relevant. Amid restructuring and refining services, their dedication has been remarkable. Strengthening the voice of people with cerebral palsy within CPSN and maintaining a focus on human rights and safety has been vital. I extend my gratitude to our Board, staff, and supporters for their hard work and adaptability. Together, we remain steadfast in empowering the cerebral palsy community and building a world of equal opportunities.
