Every day in Australia someone will be paralysed by a spinal cord injury and the impact is devastating.
Fundraise for SCIA and you will make a difference and change lives. You will be helping to provide ongoing practical support for people living with a spinal cord injury and their family. The support is needed from the moment they enter the spinal rehabilitation unit, to adjusting to life back home and learning to live again in the community.
Over 15,000 Australians live with a spinal cord injury.
A spinal cord injury will change your life in an instant. Everything that once seemed so easy and familiar can now become huge hurdles to overcome. Many people have to relearn basic skills, like feeding and dressing themselves, using the bathroom and all the daily activities that we take for granted.
For over 50 years, Spinal Cord Injuries Australia (SCIA) has been providing practical support, based on lived experience, to help people with a spinal cord injury and their families put their lives back together, when the unimaginable happens. This includes information and advice, peer support in the spinal units and beyond, advocacy, accommodation, employment and specialised exercise programmes.
We need your help.
