About Ripples
Led by families who understand the journey
Ripples of Change is a family and peer-led Australian charity founded by families with lived experience raising children with developmental delays and disabilities.
The organisation works through online and phone-based support, with a strong South Australian origin and connection to Adelaide's Kaurna Country.
Their approach is practical, compassionate, and rights-focused: listen first, build capacity, and connect families with the right next step.
