About Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results from damage to the spinal cord, causing partial or complete loss of sensory and motor function below the injury level. Injuries can be classified as paraplegia (affecting the lower body) or tetraplegia/quadriplegia (affecting all four limbs). The NDIS provides extensive support for people with SCI, including personal care, equipment, home modifications, and therapies.
