TOGETHER, LET'S RAISE $10 MILLION FOR PEOPLE WITH CEREBRAL PALSY
STEP UP FOR CEREBRAL PALSY
1 - 30 September 2021
Every 20 hours, an Australian child is diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
Cerebral palsy is the most common physical disability in childhood. It’s caused by damage to the developing brain either during pregnancy or shortly after birth – directly affecting a person’s movement and posture for life.
What you're stepping for
No matter where you choose to participate from, every step you take and every dollar you raise supports a wide range of initiatives, helping people living with cerebral palsy to live their best lives. These are just some of the incredible programs we could support with the funds raised during STEPtember 2021.
Babies at Risk
Identifying babies at risk of cerebral palsy and providing early intervention therapies.
Early detection of cerebral palsy
Research into early diagnosis of cerebral palsy, so babies can begin with life-changing treatment immediately after brain injury.
Telepractice

Rural & Regional
Equip state of the art therapy centres to support families in rural and regional areas.
Causes and prevention of cerebral palsy
