About Us

The Developing Foundation Inc. was founded in 1978 as a support group by families seeking appropriate treatment for a family member with a brain injury or a developmental disability.   The organisation is approved as a service provider by Disability Services Queensland.  Uniquely, we provide fundraising training and facilitate fundraising programs for our member families who then build networks of support to raise funds for vital therapies, aids and equipment for their loved one.

Our mission
