how the srbf came about…

journey of the srbf

The Saba Rose Button Foundation was established to help a special little girl named Saba. Although perfectly healthy, Saba had a severe and life changing reaction to a 2010 flu vaccine at age 11 months. She suffered severe brain damage and multi-organ failure. Saba has been diagnosed as having cerebral palsy from an acquired brain injury. Saba required and will continue to require intensive rehabilitation for the rest of her life. Saba has received compensation for what occurred and is no longer able to access the SRB Foundation. Consequently, the SRB Foundation is now solely for the benefit of children in similar circumstances.

The Saba Rose Button Foundation is a not-for-profit charity focused on raising funds to help children who have special needs and their families. The funds raised will pay for these children to participate in ‘intensive blocks’ of physiotherapy, for specialised equipment that is needed, for parental respite and for care in the home.

The Foundation has been ATO endorsed as a tax deductible recipient (DGR).

Our Foundation Trustees are Daniel Cloghan (Chairman), Ian Williams, Graeme Carty, Michael Button and Rick Martin.

our vision

Through the ‘rehabME’ program, we aim to provide much needed financial support for children with special needs to access ‘intensive blocks’ of physiotherapy, for specialised equipment that is needed, for parental respite and for care in the home.

Our long term vision is to see Perth’s first private intensive rehabilitation centre which would be accessible to all children with special needs who require rehabilitation.
