Accommodation At Spinal Cord Injuries Australia
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 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.
We’re excited to announce that Alinea Inc. has entered a partnership with Spinal Cord Injuries Australia in support of the Transition House. Read more about it here.
