We are here to help you live the life you choose.
Spinal Cord Injuries Australia (SCIA) is a for-purpose organisation working for people living with spinal cord injury (SCI) and other physical disabilities. We were founded by people with SCI over fifty years ago; people with disability make up over 25% of our staff, and the majority of our Board live with spinal cord injury.
Who we are
SCIA is a national, member based organisation. We have physical locations in Sydney and regional New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia, and we support people nationwide. SCIA serves 2,500 members made up of people living with disability, their family, carers, researchers, and other professionals working in the sector.
Our Vision
A society without barriers for people living with spinal cord injury and other physical disability.
Our Mission
To advance the rights, choices and entitlements of people living with spinal cord injury and other physical disability; and to ensure that high quality, relevant services are readily available for people with spinal cord injury and other physical disabilities.
Our Commitment
All services SCIA provides are based on the assessed needs of individuals with a spinal cord injury (and other disabilities) and support the strategic goals and objectives of the organisation.
SCIA as a registered provider under the NDIS is guided by and aligned to the NDIS Practice Standards and is committed to ensure that the Core Modules are achieved and reflected in the culture and philosophy of the organisation on an ongoing basis.
SCIA recognises the rights of each person with a disability to receive services and will not discriminate on any basis.
