Who We Are

Our organisation is an unprecedented national alliance between universities, major hospitals, clinicians, providers, researchers and community groups.  

These experts,  leaders in their fields, came together in June 2019 to chart a way forward to transform the way people are diagnosed, treated and supported for a range of neurodevelopment conditions. 

This network became ND Australia.

We are committed to improving the health & well-being of children and families dealing with neurodevelopment conditions.

From early childhood, through the school years and into adulthood, our mission is to make sure everyone with neurodevelopment conditions - young and old - are able to live their best life.
