For more than 60 years, we have supported people with spinal cord damage to live accessible, equitable and empowered lives in a way they choose.

Supports Coordination
Get the most out of your NDIS plan through our Supports Coordination service, now available for residents of Western Australia.
Our Supports Coordinator can assist you in understanding your NDIS plan, help you reach your goals through your annual reviews, provided well-researched advice on services and providers to best suit your needs, obtain relevant quotes and help you take control of your NDIS plan both now and in the future.
Funding for this service can also be included as part of your NDIS plan, so you can maximise your opportunities and outcomes without any additional out of pocket expenses!
NDIS Planning
New to the NDIS or Catastrophic Injuries Support (CIS) scheme?
We can assist you to transition to the scheme and provide a range of comprehensive planning tools, one-on-one consultations, and can even accompany you at your planning meetings with the Local Area Coordinator to provide additional guidance and advice.
The NDIS and CIS scheme can often be difficult to navigate, especially if it’s your first time as a participant – talk with us if you’re looking to get the most out of your initial plan and want to feel more confident and supported in your transition to the state and national funding schemes.
Peer Support and Advocacy
We work to create peer connections, provide trusted specialist advice and services and be at the forefront of education and advocacy efforts.
Through our services, we’ve helped members find their ‘more‘ through one-on-one advocacy to ensure members get the most out of their NDIS plans, assisted them to live more independently and secured funding for much needed home modifications and equipment.
We also aim to influence advocacy efforts on a local, state and national scale, urging governments and councils to promote accessible infrastructure and ensure our member’s voices are being heard.
Our Peer Support team in WA all have lived experience with spinal cord damage and use their experiences to provide advice and guidance to others, and let you know you’re not alone.
