About Best Buddies Australia

Best Buddies is a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the lives of people with intellectual disability by providing opportunities for one on one friendship. The project works by linking a person with intellectual disability with a peer around the same age without a disability who lives nearby. chapters are set up in secondary schools and universities. The program has a very hip feel to it and very much avoids the charity model. It is a new project that NSW CID is involved in and will be taking referrals from November 2004.Currently operating in High Schools around Sydney and Melbourne has both High School and Citizen Buddies.
