About Us

What is the Movement?

The Movement is a Membership of people with a variety of backgrounds, abilities and age who commit themselves to work with people with disabilities to respond to the joy, hope, and love in their Spiritual and Social lives.

What is the history of the Movement?

The Movement was established in 1967.  A small group of people saw a great need to work, support and interact with people with Cerebal Palsy.  It wasn't long before their aim had to be extended to people with all forms of disabilities due to popular demand.

The Movement also extends financial help to the Australian Marist Brothers by contributing to support for people with disabilities and land mine injuries.  The Brothers share the same desire as the Movement by supporting the spiritual and social needs of all vulnerable people, especially people with disabilities.

The Movement, although based on Catholic beliefs is truly Ecumenical and all members and people with disabilities are welcomed and respected for their beliefs.

God's love is unconditional.  It is for us all.
