Who we are
Northcott is a charity organisation that first started as an NSW Society for Crippled Children in the year 1929. It was mainly established to provide supportive services to people who were living with any kind of disability in the community. These people were in those days abandoned and left to fend for themselves which led to majority of them ending up dead. Since its inception, the organisation has been providing various services to kids with any kind of disability. Those services have now been expanded to include even the elderly in the community. Northcott therefore sees to it that the needs of both children and the aged living with any form of disability are adequately and properly met. These unique services are rendered to people living in either NSW or ACT.
