ACCESS Brain Injury services aims to
provide a comprehensive range of rehabilitation and consultancy
services that are cost-effective and responsive to the needs of people
with acquired brain injury, their families, insurers and government and
community organisations. The principal professional staff of ACCESS
Brain Injury Services have worked in the field for more than fifteen years.
With a strong commitment to research and
development we are a successful and dynamic organisation participating in the brain
injury field within Australia and internationally.
We are fully committed to standards of best practice. Effective
communication is a key principle in our approach to service provision.
We understand your need for constructive and accurate information and to
be able to liaise effectively with us at any stage of a program or project.
Intrinsic to our philosophy is a respect for the rights and dignity of
people with acquired brain injury, and the importance for their families
and carers to be involved in service planning and programs.
"Our approach brings together knowledge,
skill and a commitment to excellence in service provision."
As an independent company Access Brain Injury Services can provide services for individuals,
insurers, community organisations, solicitors, educational facilities and government agencies.
We are experienced in the development and facilitation of a range of training programs.
ACCESS have developed a number of training programs designed for community agencies to
deliver to their consumers. We have also been responsible for the development of ongoing
workshops for other Service Providers.
Most recently, Access Brain Injury Services have been contracted to design groups
for several organisations:
- Headway Adult Development Program - A Training Series for Consumers including "Knowing
Your Rights and Making Complaints", "Standing Up for Yourself: Self Advocacy", "Sexuality"
and "Sexual Harassment"
