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.

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.

ABI plans often evolve significantly over time β€” 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 β€” a good support coordinator helps navigate this.
