My CP Guide is Australia's first national information platform dedicated to cerebral palsy.

My CP Guide provides access to the most credible and relevant information and resources for people with cerebral palsy, their families, their supporters, healthcare professionals, and all the key people in their lives.

Diagnosis and assessments
Therapies and interventions
Independence and inclusion
Managing cerebral palsy throughout your life
Managing health and well being
School, education, work and leisure
Accessing the community
You can also filter all the information by life stage, so you're finding the information relevant to you. Explore the resources today!

"My CP Guide offers information, research and stories about caring for someone with cerebral palsy and it helps us look into the future and plan ahead a little bit while acknowledging that each individual is unique." - Audrey, parent of Chandler

This Saturday, the new SCCSA All Abilities Program will launch at Pacific FC with their game kicking off at 10:20am.

If you have young friends or family members who would like to come along and play the first game, please let them know about the program.

Registration is 30 mins prior and a $5 per player fee, to be paid at the same time as registration.

The game will be played in a friendly manner in two 15 minute halves and a nice break in the middle. Players will not need to wear football boots and shin pads but must wear enclosed shoes. Each player is entitled have a support person with them on the field to help facilitate play. This will be to help maintain the flow of the game.

Please contact SCCSA's All Abilities Program Manager for further information regarding the content of the program – Trevor Picken, email: allabilities@sccsa.org.au

Today I submitted my PhD thesis on postural control in children with Cerebral Palsy. Thank you to the incredible and talented group from the Children's Motor Control Research Collaboration who are leaders in their field and helped me to create this work of which I am so proud of. My sincere hope is that this work will make a real difference in the lives of children with CP and other motor disorders.
