We provide information and support to parents and families who have a child or young adult with any type of disability or developmental delay across NSW.

Parents run our Association, so we know what it's like to have a child with a disability. We understand issues from a parent and family perspective.

ACD NSW seeks to give strength to the voice of families caring for a child with a disability.

Our activities include:

• publication of Through the Maze and Helping You and Your Family (click here to order a copy)
• updating from time to time the electronic copy of Through the Maze
• publishing a quarterly newsletter, free to members, that provides information on what’s happening and what you need to know, as well as stories from families that are a great source of strength and inspiration for other families and for professionals who work with families
• providing information seminars on issues ranging from advocacy and supported accommodation to establishing trusts and will writing
• advocating for improved services, and raising awareness of the issues and difficulties facing parents, carers and families
• providing telephone support and networking with other parents and families
• working with other groups, service providers, the government and other decision-makers on issues affecting families.

Our website is currently being redesigned and we are looking for photos for our new website. If you would like your family to feature on our new website, please send your photos to the email address on our contacts page. Ideally we would like photos of you and your children involved in their everyday life, such as participating at school, enjoying activities and just being themselves. Thanks for your help.

We support the campaign for an NDIS.
You can too.
