Novita Children’s Services was established in 1939 as the Crippled Children’s Association of SA, to care for children diagnosed with polio.
From these humble beginnings, Novita has grown to become one of South Australia’s premier children’s charities – and a recognised and celebrated world leader in the research, development and provision of quality services to children and families living with physical disabilities and acquired brain injuries.
Novita currently provides essential therapy, equipment and family support to more than 2,000 children - and through broader work with families and communities, has a direct impact on more than 10,000 South Australians.
Novita’s primary services include Early Childhood Services, Child and Adolescent Services, Country Outreach Services and the Inclusion Support Program.
