The SBFV was founded in the late 1990's by a group of parents, physiotherapists and doctors concerned about improving services and life chances for Victorians with spina bifida.

Spina Bifida Foundation of Victoria will receive $10,000 to establish 5 online groups targeting people with a disability. The aim of the project will be to bring the groups online to improve communication and reduce isolation. The project will allow the organisation to provide a consistent, reliable and extendable method of reaching community members and open the opportunities to them.
