What is Spinal Cord Injury?
Spinal cord injury (SCI) changes movement, sensation and many daily routines below the level of injury. Each person's needs are different, but most participants benefit from a coordinated team of allied health, support workers and equipment. SCI is well recognised by the NDIS.
Common challenges people may experience
- Mobility and transfers
- Personal care and bladder/bowel management
- Pressure care and skin integrity
- Pain, spasticity and fatigue
- Home modifications and equipment
- Returning to employment and community life
How the NDIS may support people with Spinal Cord Injury
Where spinal cord injury causes significant, ongoing impact, the NDIS may fund a tailored mix of supports — including allied health therapies, support workers, support coordination, assistive technology and community participation. Every plan is different and built around the participant's goals. We can help you find providers once your plan is in place.
