The Tasmanian Spastics Association replaced the Spastic Children Treatment Fund Committee in October 1970. Its purpose was to organise and fund treatment for children with cerebral palsy, then known as spasticity. In 1978, it founded Rosebank Cottage for Disabled Children. The Tasmanian Spastics Association became the Cerebral Palsy Association of Tasmania in October 1996.
The Miss Tasmania Quest helped fund the Tasmanian Spastics Association.
