Northcott Disability Services
Northcott Disability Services was established as The NSW Society for Crippled Children in 1929 by the Rotary Club of Sydney in response to the growing number of children left with the effects of illnesses such as polio and tuberculosis.
Today, Northcott provides support and services to more than 6000 individuals and families across NSW and the ACT. Northcott provides close to 70 services across a broad range of disabilities including physical, intellectual, sensory, acquired and degenerative disabilities, as well as challenging behaviours.
Some clients with rarer or lesser know disabilities find Northcott to be the only provider of appropriate support and services.
Northcott's purpose is to build an inclusive society. This is achieved by assisting people with disabilities to develop their skills, achieve their goals - including their potential for independence and ability to participate in their communities.
Northcott provides services from 31 sites across metropolitan, regional and rural NSW. There are offices in regional NSW including; Coffs Harbour, Dubbo, Newcastle, Dapto, Penrith, Queanbeyan, Tamworth and Wagga ...read more

I am a Northcott employee. I belong to a wonderful organisation with a wonderful logo. I have been impressed by the caring and sensitive staff, locally and state-wide, who serve the clients, their families and carers and their communities. Northcott brings to the regional office the opportunities for people to access clinics such as CATS (Computers), Spina Bifida and Orthotics saving them the expense in time and finances of travelling to Sydney. I have only been here a short time but it is a good place to be and I will be here a long time.
I would like to rave about Northcott Disability Services. My first encounter was that of a client and the marvellous assistance they provide children with disabilities; a front runner in utilising technology assistance or CATS; their recommendations for computer aids to my son's school have meant he can now use specific programmes designed for children of his ability. Secondly, I have gained employment and thoroughly recommend them as a employer of choice, go Northcott!
My review is from a personal perspective. I work for Northcott and wanted to congratulate the organisation for being a very professional place to work. All of Northcott staff a very caring towards their clients and enjoy helping those in need. Every person with a disability deserves the right to enjoy recreational activities, education, work and the joy of being a part of the community. We all at Northcott, work hard to make sure that every client enjoys life to the fullest. It is a pleasure to work with such a wonderful and giving charity.
