About FSF
FSF was born from almost accidental contact between parents in specialist's waiting rooms, early intervention programs and in hospital wards when sitting beside our kid's beds. We quickly realised that we understood each other, that we could problem solve for each other purely based on first hand experiences, and in a way that works for our whole families including partners, siblings and our child with the disability. FSF membership has grown to well over 100 families plus service providers. FSF was formally launched in 2003 and continues to grow beyond the resource for families and service providers that we originally dreamed of.
