Cerebral Palsy Australia
On the 1st July 2013 Cerebral Palsy Australia Ltd became a wholly owned subsidiary company of Ability First Australia Ltd. The decision to merge both entities came about because of a number of synergies between the work of both organisations.
Whilst the Ability First Australia Board is now the Cerebral Palsy Australia Board, it is the intention for both companies to operate independently.
