Guiding Principles

We believe in the rights of:

  • people to make choices in their own lives;
  • people to dignity, respect, privacy and confidentiality;
  • people to be valued as individuals;
  • people to access services on a non-discriminatory basis;
  • the community to accountable services;
  • the community to services which are responsive, equitable and accessible.

We continue to see many positive results from the programmes at CATA:

  • Social and physical rehabilitation for many who would otherwise have remained isolated because of chronic illness, age or disability;
  • Confidence gained;
  • Speech problems overcome and involvement in community interests have been achieved;
  • Raised public awareness of the needs of people with disabilities, in the community, by the efforts of our members to help others, as well as themselves.
