About Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)

Acquired brain injury (ABI) refers to brain damage that occurs after birth, including traumatic brain injury from accidents, stroke, brain tumours, infections, and hypoxia. ABI can affect cognition, behaviour, physical function, communication, and emotional regulation. The NDIS provides long-term support for people with permanent ABI, though the boundary between NDIS and health system funding can be complex.

Key NDIS supports for acquired brain injury

Key NDIS supports for ABI include neuropsychology and psychology for cognitive rehabilitation, occupational therapy for daily living skills, physiotherapy for physical recovery, speech pathology for communication, support workers for daily assistance, behaviour support for managing behavioural changes, and support coordination to navigate complex service systems.

Choosing a acquired brain injury provider

Prioritise providers with experience in acquired brain injury rehabilitation, understanding of cognitive and behavioural changes after brain injury, ability to work as part of a multidisciplinary team, patience with the often-slow pace of recovery, and familiarity with the intersection of health and NDIS funding.

💡 NDIS plan tips for acquired brain injury

ABI plans often evolve significantly over time — early plans may focus on intensive rehabilitation, while later plans shift toward maintenance and community participation. Support coordination is almost always included given the complexity. The boundary between health-funded rehabilitation and NDIS-funded disability support can be unclear — a good support coordinator helps navigate this.
