Spinal cord injury gifting program
Life after a spinal cord injury is never the same; the ability to live independently and participate as an active member of the community is key to maintaining a meaningful life. Unfortunately home adaptations, wheelchairs, support tools and mobility equipment come at a cost that is unattainable for many. This, in addition to rehabilitation and medical bills, can create financial hardship.
At PBF Australia we seek to ease the impact of a spinal cord injury, from working with patients in the initial weeks and months of their injury, to providing financial assistance and employment opportunities; we help those living with paraplegia and quadriplegia get the most out of life.
Our gifting program buys equipment for people with permanent spinal cord injuries to enhance their freedom and quality of life, or to help them get back to work or study. Previous gifts have included electric beds, voice-activated computer software, hoists and wheelchairs.
PBF applies criteria to all gifting requests to ensure full value is received for all donated funds.

“Recently PBF were able to assist a client return to study by funding a computer. Having access to the right equipment can make a big difference…The equipment PBF Australia has been able to provide through generous donations has made a positive difference for our clients.”
