Forward Ability Support has been supporting people living with spinal cord injury for more than 60 years. Our primary objective has always been to improve the quality of life of people living with SCI, recognising that each person's goals and aspirations are individual to them. This means that after 60 years, we are still listening to better understand what is important to our members, their families and other stakeholders within the community. The common issues raised resonate with our purpose to lead the way with services and supports towards a brighter, positive future for our community - to make a real difference to the lives of people living with a spinal cord injury - to maximise life choices, independence and quality of life in the long term.


Our Board has been working hard to formulate our Agenda - based on what we have heard and we believe are the pressing issues of the day. In this edition of the newsletter, we are proud to present our Agenda to clearly signpost those issues we will be focusing on. We will be working tirelessly on behalf of our members and their supporters not only to draw attention to these issues but also to make a tangible difference in these areas.
