Rollercoaster was incorporated on 19 September 2006. In August 2006, the parents and the foundation ensemble members had a series of meetings, and worked out the future structure of the organisation, leading up to its registration as an Incorporated Association. During these meetings the name “Rollercoaster” was devised by the foundation ensemble members, describing the ‘ ups and downs ‘ they experienced living with a disability. In 2018 Rollercoaster began a new chapter with an independent management committee, but until then the management committee continued to be run by the parents of the founding members.
