Our vision is a world with equal opportunities for people with Cerebral Palsy.

More than a registered NDIS provider, we work in Partnership with our people to share knowledge, create Connections and provide Support for those with Cerebral Palsy and like Disabilities.

Founded by parents

Founded in 1995 by a group of parents seeking better support for their children with Cerebral Palsy, CPSN began as a Community focused on close connections and long-term relationships, knowing this would give their children the best chance of growing and thriving in an ever challenging world. As more families joined, the group quickly grew. In 1997, it became a membership based Not-For-Profit Organisation: the Cerebral Palsy Support Network (CPSN). In 2017, we expanded to offer NDIS services to our Community.

We’re for People, not profit

Founded in 1995 by parents of children with Cerebral Palsy, our mission is to give back to our Community and represent the voice of people with CP.

As part of our commitment to the Cerebral Palsy Community, we offer free services, regardless of whether you have an NDIS plan or not; including Events, free Resources, Workshops, Support Groups, Phone Support (5 days a week) and Personal Development programs.

Hey, I’m

Elizabeth

Customer Service Coordinator

"I struggled a lot with my CP growing up, I didn't feel much like I fit in and struggled to come to terms with it. Now I'm able to talk to people every day who I hope can benefit from my perspective and experience, and it feels healing to put that experience to good use. It's nice to be able to share that yes, some things can be a struggle but things will be okay."

Annual Report 
2024 -2025

The past year has been one of reflection and renewal for the Cerebral Palsy Support Network (CPSN). We have navigated a complex and changing environment - from ongoing NDIS reforms to broader economic pressures, with a clear focus on what matters most: delivering meaningful, safe and person-centred support to people with Cerebral Palsy and similar disabiliitess, their families and carers.
