In 1959, Perrottet, senior physiotherapist at Mount Wilga Rehabilitation Centre (now a private hospital) in the Sydney suburb of Hornsby organised the first Paraplegic Games held in New South Wales, at the Mount Wilga Centre, which involved an intensive course of training. The North Shore Times reported that Perrottet worked tirelessly behind the scenes training, fund raising, morale boosting, to help assemble the New South Wales contingent for the first Australian team to compete at the 1960 Rome Paralympics.
