Why Choose Spinal Life Australia
We’re here to support your recovery journey, every step of the way.
Over 60 Years Supporting People with Physical Disability
Our story started over 60 years ago with a group of Brisbanites living with paraplegia and quadriplegia who decided to advocate for what mattered most. 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.
A Holistic Approach to Your Care
We collaborate with you and take the time to get to know your goals and your life. Rather than working in silos, our allied health professionals work together as a team to provide you with a coordinated and connected level of care throughout your rehabilitation journey.
Honest, Evidence-Based, Client-Centred Care
We’re 100% focused on providing the best quality of care, and that means being honest, modern and evidence-based in everything we do. We develop unique and personalised plans that support you to reach your goals, so you can live comfortably and participate in your community.
We Work With Your Funding
We’re a registered NDIS provider and work with most funding types including NIISQ, WorkCover, private insurance and self-funded clients. If you’re not sure whether your funding applies, our friendly team is happy to help you work it out.
Part of Something Bigger
Spinal Life Australia is a member-based organisation and a committed community, not just a service provider. Alongside our allied health services, we advocate for a fairer Australia, connect people through peer support, and empower people with disability to live life their way.
