OTCP or On Track Community Programs as it is more commonly known, had humble beginnings as the local Tweed Hospital Aid Council (THAC). This was in 1986, when a group of concerned parents, health professionals and community minded citizens had the vision to respond to the outcomes arising from the Richmond Report 1983, often associated with initiating the deinstitutionalisation process of people with mental illness and developmental disability. It is noted this process had begun earlier in the 60’s and 70’s yet the Richmond Report did have an impact on many local groups such as the THAC and groups such as ours began a dialogue between NSW Health and Housing on where people with mental illnesses would be supported in the community.
