incorporating Community Survival Kit

Back on Track is a resource for you.  It has been designed to provide you with information and contacts you will need to manage the aspects of your life relating to your spinal cord injury.

We have included basic information and contact details for you, but Back on Track is a resource you can build on in your own time and with relevance to your own needs.  It is not intended to be a complete guide of all services; it is designed to answer many of the most frequently asked questions and address the most common concerns facing people who have experienced a spinal cord injury. 

As much as possible, the information included is written from the point of view of the person asking the questions. 

The information we have provided falls into two main areas:

• fact sheets that provide answers to the most frequently asked questions for our Peer Support Officers and Information team; and
• contact details and information sources covering support for you and your family members and carers.
  

We hope that this information will provide you with the foundation you need to manage within the community.  Space has been allocated on each page for individual contact details or notes to be included. Details on other services offered through SCIA are available on the relevant pages on the website.

While every effort has been made to ensure that details included are completely accurate at the time of downloading, we recognise that this information can often change over time.  Please feel free to download any updates or copy the information to pass on to others.  We also keep a regularly updated list of hot topics and helpful hints on our website and through our web forum.

We sincerely hope that the information included in Back on Track offers you support and assistance.  Our aim is to be there when you need us, now and into the future, to assist with individual support or to help in eliminating the barriers within the community that prevent true independence.  We also welcome any feedback or suggestions for additional information, resources or services to be included. Please contact SCInfo on 02 9661 8855, 1800 819 775 or email information@scia.org.au.
