Who we are

Learn More

SCIA is a for-purpose organisation working for people living with spinal cord injury and other neuro conditions. We were founded by people with SCI in 1967; people with disability make up over 23% of our staff, and the majority of our Board have a spinal cord injury.

Living with a Disability

At Spinal Cord Injuries Australia (SCIA), we work with you to shape a life that’s full of choice, connection and independence.

Whatever stage in your journey, whether you want to find lived-experience advice, accessible exercise facilities, mental health support or if you need help to advocate for your rights, we’ll be there alongside you.

Membership is free for individuals with lived-experience and their family or carers, and just $10 per year for professionals — so every voice and perspective is welcomed.

As a member, you will help shape SCIA’s direction, contribute to decisions at our annual meetings and stand with others working toward a barrier-free future.
