Rebuilding Lives, Empowering People and Preventing Spinal Cord Injuries
THEY’RE a tough audience. Anyone who has ever fronted a room full of teenagers knows that they often bring with them a take-no-prisoners approach.
Over the past eight years I’ve learnt that if you want teenagers to listen to you then you’d better be laugh-out-loud funny or have a powerful, personal message that shocks the hell out of them.
And when it comes to the latter, I don’t think anyone is doing it better than SEAT, the Spinal Education Awareness Team presenters.
The Spinal Injuries Association is proud to support the Every Australian Counts campaign for a National Disability Insurance Scheme. Show your support today to transform the lives of people who have a disability in our country.

Hugh Banney, Convenor of the Brisbane Post Polio Support Network and Honourary Life Member of the Association, has retired from his position as Convenor after 10 years in the role.
Hugh has given unfailing dedication to his role, taking part in various working party groups and showing a passionate commitment to representing members of the Brisbane Network (which he co-founded). In 2009, Hugh was awarded a Rotary Paul Harris Fellow for ‘tireless campaigning and education about polio’.
Hugh feels the time is right for him to contribute as a member to the Network while passing on the leadership to someone else. The Association wishes him well and thanks him for his outstanding service and contributions over the past decade.
