Who are “we”?

We are CPSN and we are passionate and driven!

The Cerebral Palsy Support Network (CPSN) is the Australian membership-based peak that represents individuals with cerebral palsy (and like conditions) and their families. We empower our members to thrive and flourish in their community through the provision of support, resources and services. We advocate a person centred approach in everything we do.

What opportunities do we have right now?

Glad you asked!

We have opportunities available for people living in or around Lara to provide support services to young women with a focus on community access and ensuring personal needs and wants are met.

The hours are flexible, with opportunity to pick up short and long shifts, including some mornings, evenings and weekends. CPSN and our clients and their families work together with you, our amazing Support Workers, to find a schedule of work that meets everyone's needs.
