We want to hear from you!

We would like to speak to people with spinal cord injuries about the impact of spinal cord injury on their lives.

Spinal Cord Injuries Australia and the Social Policy Research Centre at The University of New South Wales are interested in speaking to people in NSW with spinal cord injury about the impact of spinal cord injury on their lives and about their life choices and the ways in which they can live the way they want to.

You are invited to participate in an interview about this, at a time and location of your choosing.

Interviews will take between 45 minutes and 1 1/2 hours. All participants will be given a $50 gift voucher in recognition of their contribution or participation.

We are interested in talking to a variety of people and would like to include:

• both men and women;
• people living in Sydney and those in regional and rural areas; 
• people from different cultural backgrounds;
• people at different life stages and ages;
• people with different levels of injury;
• people who have recently acquired a spinal cord injury and those with more long-standing injuries.

If you are interested in taking part, please contact Saul Flaxman at the Social Policy Research Centre, UNSW on (02) 9385 9776 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Please note that we may not be able to interview everyone who contacts us. We will be running a larger electronic survey of people with spinal cord injury early in 2012 and are still very interested to hear your view.
