Training Alliance | Cerebral Palsy Alliance

Cerebral Palsy Alliance is a ground-breaking, global centre of expertise for cerebral palsy research, advocacy, intervention and assistive technology innovation.

- We are world leaders in cerebral palsy research, and the world’s largest private funder of cerebral palsy research
- Our research informs our world-class interventions and services which we provide across about 70 sites throughout metropolitan, regional and rural NSW and the ACT
- Our global disability tech accelerator program, Remarkable, is unlocking the potential of technology to drive greater inclusion for people with disability - we connect inclusive start-ups with the capital, expertise and skills they need to succeed.
- We use our influence to bring together communities in advocating for change.

For over 75 years, we have been driven by our founders’ vision of a future where nothing is impossible for people with cerebral palsy and similar conditions. 

Together with our clients, the 17 million+ global cerebral palsy community, our 2500+ employees and 150,000+ donors, fundraisers and entrepreneurs, we are contributing to solving the next set of impossibilities.

We believe that one person can have an idea, but it takes different skills and the knowledge of many people to make that idea a reality. 

This is what happens when great minds think differently.

In just a few months, young people all across Australia will be taking high school exams  – but not everyone will have access to the supports they need to do their best. 

Students with disability are entitled to access reasonable supports to enable participation in exams. But the lived experience of many is that these supports can be applied poorly, inconsistently, or not at all.

#CPActive, the grassroots advocacy arm of CPA, is calling on NSW government to ensure clear, consistent and enforceable guidelines for support around assessments at schools for students with CP and other disabilities.

The clock’s ticking and we need your support - sign CPActive's petition for better access to exam support for high school students 👇

A warm thanks to the four federal and state MPs to have visited CPA in the last fortnight to announce grants and new funding.

Our East Maitland team was thrilled to host federal member for Paterson, Meryl Swanson MP, who met our therapy and influence staff and toured the site. Federal member for Bennelong, Jerome Laxale MP, also toured our Ryde therapy centre to celebrate a Stronger Communities grant.

Meanwhile, state member for Davison, Matt Cross MP, got a taste of our Lifestyles program at St Ives while announcing new funds to upgrade the site, and state member for Erina, Adam Crouch MP, visited our therapy centre on the central coast. 

Thank you to all our elected officials for taking the time to meet our families and learn about how we support the CP community.
