Support SCIA
Your Donation Has The Power To Change Lives.
A spinal cord injury changes your life in an instant. Paralysis causes loss of limb function, and multiple secondary health issues, respiratory, bowel and bladder, pressure injuries, pain, spasms, loss of sexual function, and more. People living with spinal cord injury experience higher hospital admissions, more mental health challenges, lower employment, and reduced life expectancy.
Did you know that over 21,000 Australians live with spinal cord injury; with one Aussie joining the statistics every day? It impacts particularly on young people, in the prime of life, creating high rates of depression and suicide. The estimated care and economic cost to Australian economy is $2 billion annually.
SCIA is there for the entire journey; from the spinal rehabilitation units to life back home and learning to live again. We provide a range of practical support services, based on lived experience. These include Peer Support, Exercise, Advocacy, Information, NDIS Support, Accommodation, and Employment.
But we can’t do this alone. We need your help.
Please give what you can to support these services. Donations are tax deductible.
