Extended Families Australia is a not-for-profit incorporated organisation that facilitates positive connections between children and young people with disabilities, their families and the community.

They recognise the challenges that a family can face raising a child with a disability & understand the support needed to help young person with a disability connect with their community.  Through their flexible support options, their volunteers provide children/young people with a disability and their families, companionship, friendship and practical assistance in their day-to-day lives. 

Their aim is to break down barriers, change social attitudes and through the simple gift of friendship create positive opportunities for both the individuals/families we support and our volunteers.
