Who we are
Learn MoreSCIA 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.
