Novita Children’s Services was established in 1939 as the Crippled Children’s Association of South Australia, to care for children with polio.
From these beginnings, Novita has grown to become the leading South Australian not-for-profit service provider for children living with disabilities and other special needs. Our focus is to become a recognised and celebrated world leader in the research, development and provision of quality services to the children and young people we support.
Novita currently provides essential therapy, equipment and family support to more than 1,300 children - and through broader work with families and communities, has a direct impact on more than 10,000 South Australians.
Our team of expert staff includes occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, social workers and speech pathologists, who work together with families to give Novita’s kids the best start in life possible.
Equipment and technologies such as wheelchairs, walkers and communication devices are prescribed to help our young clients connect with their worlds – at home, at school and in the playground.
