A driver assists Mich as he boards the daily special bus that transports him from home to the Spastic Centre. A 17-bus fleet partly subsidised by the government travels across Sydney with cheerful children aboard, drawing smiles and waves from busy Sydneysiders.
Originating from £32 and parent volunteers, The Spastic Centre in New South Wales expanded from 14 children in 1945 to 200 in daily treatment and over 1,700 under outpatient care. The centre, led by Mr and Mrs Neil McLeod, built a modern block in 1952 and now offers free treatment and orthopaedic care funded by volunteers, with education and transport support from state sources.
