OUR HISTORY Our story begins at the North Rocks Central School for Blind and Deafblind Children. In 1978, we were established by a group of parents and teachers who wanted to ensure that their children had a pathway to independent living as young adults and beyond. We were the world’s first public-education and parent-run organisation with the aim of providing supported accommodation for people who are blind or deafblind. Former students from the school were the first co-residents of our very first home, which opened in Ashfield in 1983 as Australia’s first family group home.
