McLeod House
Hostel for Country Children - early 1960s
The Spastic Centre of New South Wales was founded on 30 January 1945, by a concerned group of 25 parents of children with cerebral palsy, under the leadership of Audrie and Neil McLeod. It was the first organisation of its type in the world for people with cerebral palsy.
The name of the organisation was changed to Cerebral Palsy Alliance on 8 February 2011 with the aim of achieving a stronger profile, clarity of purpose and an unambiguous focus on cerebral palsy.
