A message from Northcott CEO, Liz Forsyth
Coming into spring we are full of gratitude for the successful year we’ve been having here at Northcott and full of excitement for what is to come.
Because of your generosity we have been able to continue to support and empower people with disability to live the life they choose. We remain committed to being a leader in the disability sector, striving to create a more inclusive society in everything we do.
2022 Survey - Let us hear your voice!
We are very grateful to have your support. Your generosity and kindness allow us to continue to assist people with disability with essential projects and services.
We regard your opinion highly, and we want to hear from you.
We know that your time is valuable. Therefore, this survey has a few questions that will allow us to communicate with you more effectively and purposefully.
Again, we are very thankful for your support and considering completing our 2022 survey!

What people with disability are saying about us?
We recently surveyed the people with disability we support to find out how they feel about Northcott and our services. Listening to their feedback and ideas is essential in how we continually shape and improve our services.
Citi team volunteered at North Parramatta office
Northcott was thrilled to welcome a team of volunteers from Citi to our North Parramatta office in July.
The Citi team supported our Vocational Skills participants to create resumes and participate in mock interviews, helped out with gardening and craft activities in the Everyday Life Skills program and worked with our fundraising team to write thank you cards and research new funding opportunities.
A brief history of Northcott Fundraising activities through the years
Every year, Northcott organises many different fundraising activities to support the multitude of services that we provide. We have mapped some of the key fundraising activities since the very beginning of the Society.
