Making Recovery a Reality

Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI) Australia

Give a One Off Donation Give a Regular Donation
Give people who have suffered the pain and trauma of a catastrophic accident or injury back their HOPE for recovery.

How will the funds be used?


Over 2.5 million people worldwide live with spinal cord injury induced paralysis. The leading causes of SCI in Australia are transport accidents (47%), falls (33%) - including tripping on the same level, falling from building and jumping into water - and water related accidents. An estimated 300 Australians every year suffer spinal cord injuries. They don't discriminate - such debilitating injuries strike anyone, anywhere, anytime.

Walk On is an intensive exercise recovery program helping people with quadriplegia and paraplegia recover. The program is based on project walk methodology which has been running in the US for over 10 years. The results Walk On has had in the past year have been unbelievable - EVERY SINGLE client has had improvements. This program isn't just about walking again, it's about supporting people to reach the goals that will help them regain their independence and get back into their community.

By supporting Walk On you are making recovery a reality for people with spinal cord injuries.
