Peer & Family Support
Our Hunter/Newcastle Peer and Family Support service, working with Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation, is our newest program.
It will follow the same structure as our other locations, with community peer support, health education, wheelchair skills, and many of the other programs we run to support people living with SCI.
The Hunter/Newcastle program will also incorporate an advisory group, made up of community representatives, healthcare professionals and those with spinal cord injury, who will regularly meet to discuss local issues that are important for those living with SCI and other disability.
If you’d like to get in touch with a member of our friendly team, all you need to do is fill out the Peer Support Referral Form or find out more about our Peer & Family Support services.

Spinal Cord Injuries Australia (SCIA) acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of this land where the First Nation Peoples have long engaged in ceremonies of storytelling, music, dance, and celebration. We pay respect to the Elders, past and present, and recognise those of the future, who will carry the memories, traditions, and aspirations of First Nation Peoples. It is crucial to remember that beneath the concrete and asphalt, this land always has been and always will be traditional First Nation Peoples’ Land. We acknowledge the contributions of both First Nation Peoples and non-First Nation Australians towards building and advancing a sustainable future, promoting health, reducing inequalities, and achieving better social outcomes.
