Spinal Injury Unit

dentist in a wheelchairThe Spinal Injury Unit offers a state-wide service to clients who have sustained traumatic and non-traumatic spinal cord injuries. It is a 18-bed unit, which offers individually tailored, multi-disciplinary rehabilitation programs. The aim of these specific programs is to restore as much function and independence as possible, while at the same time facilitating adjustment to disability, promoting self determination and enhancing quality of life.

Transitional Living Unit

Depending on the client's medical condition, a stay in the Transitional Living Unit with family, to experience 'life outside rehab' may be encouraged. The unit is a self-contained flat next to the Spinal Injury Unit. Usually clients stay in the Unit for three days.
