Preparing for life at home after a spinal cord injury
Short Term Accommodation
Spinal Cord Injuries Australia recognises that transitioning to a home environment from a clinical rehabilitation setting is one of the biggest steps a person will make post injury. Our short term accommodation, in both Sydney and Perth, provides a real life modified home environment, giving the person with an injury and their family, the opportunity to become familiar with activities of daily living, identifying independence capabilities and potential home modification options.
All our accommodation is fitted with quality modifications, close to transport and in a relaxing setting that allows you to reconnect with family and friends as well as achieve your personal goals and build confidence for the future. SCIA’s short term accommodation is available to all clients with a spinal cord injury.
SCIA offers two short term accommodation packages
1. Transitional Skills Package
Our Peer & Family Support team, all with lived experience, are available to support you during this time.
SCIA understands that skills development does not end when you leave rehabilitation, and that not everyone will have the opportunity to use our Transitional Accommodation during rehabilitation. The accommodation is also available for people who wish to develop new skills in a community setting e.g. improving independence or moving out alone.
The package includes:
2. Recharge Package
For people who wish to recharge with family or friends in a modified relaxing environment.
The package includes:
Both packages have a minimum two night stay.

Additionally the Transition Skills Package can assist people to understand possibilities and opportunities, potential levels of self-management and care needs and how this can work in a home environment. By connecting with an SCIA Peer, participants can develop social confidence and improve adjustment and well-being.
