APS Benevolent Fund
A charity created by the APS community, to support families affected by Cerebral Palsy
The APS Benevolent Fund is administered by the staff of the APS Benefits Group. All costs of maintaining the Fund are borne by the Group, to ensure that every dollar is used to fund benevolent projects.
Our chosen charity is the Cerebral Palsy Education Centre (CPEC) who provide direct services to those suffering Cerebral Palsy and similar conditions that result in movement challenges.
Your donation will help children living with Cerebral Palsy to live an inclusive life on their own terms by having access to speech pathologists, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists through small group programs and individual sessions.
Cerebral palsy
Cerebral palsy is the most common physical disability in Australia and the most expensive to manage.
The Cerebral Palsy Education Centre (CPEC) provides physical, occupational and speech therapy to children, training to parents as well as enabling children and families to access the essential equipment they need in their daily lives. Equipment and resources are critical in the provision of support for the kids and families at CPEC. Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology and parent training can be expensive.

Dear APS Benevolent Fund,
Thank you again for your ongoing support of my role as a Speech Pathologist at CPEC. I am currently supporting a group of 10 children in Early Intervention. This group consists of children aged 2-5 with a mixture of disabilities (e.g. cerebral palsy, genetic syndromes). Catering to the needs of such a diverse range of ages and abilities has been a challenge for myself and the team; requiring some creative problem solving and strategising!
This term, our group has been completing activities relating to the Three Little Pigs story tale. We have been exploring and learning vocabulary in the story, and practicing making up our own stories with the characters and setting. The kids have had lots of fun making houses out of all different materials – learning to grasp and grip is a fine motor goal for many.
Your support is much appreciated,
– Lillian Colley, Speech Pathologist
