Profile Summary
We are Spinal Life Australia: a team of health care workers, activists, researchers, volunteers and friends all committed to changing the way disability is seen and creating a fairer Australia.
Our story started over 60 years ago when a group of Brisbanenites living with paraplegia and quadriplegia met and decided they would advocate for what mattered most to them. Through that first meeting Spinal Life Australia was born. Since that day we’ve never lost sight of why we’re here; to make real and tangible differences in the lives of people living with a physical disability. Whether that’s through critical support services, allied health, advocacy at an individual and national level, support via our Back 2 Work team or through our Peer Support team.
We are Spinal Life Australia: A committed team of support workers, allied health professionals; including people with lived experience, striving to change the way disability is perceived, while also advocating for a fairer Australia.
Why we do it?
To empower those living with a disability to live life their way.
To advocate for a fairer and more equitable Australia.
To educate and support.
