About GPSO

GPSO began operating in Griffith in early 1993 when the State Government provided funding to establish post school options programs for young adults with a disability to make the transition from school to community life. 

GPSO is a non-profit community-based organisation run by a volunteer Board of Management. Board meetings are held monthly, and all Participants and families are encouraged to attend and have input in the direction and the future of the service.
