"My name is Graeme and I'm currently stuck in a hospital ward because there is nowhere else for me to go ..."

This has been devastating for my family, especially my children. 

Coming to see your dad in hospital can be hard at the best of times.  But knowing that you you have to leave him there has been just awful for them.

One of the hardest things for me is seeing them leave in tears and not being able to do anything about it.

"I'm 21 years old and I have just gone home to live with my family..."

"I have my whole life ahead of me and my immediate aims are to go to Uni and become a psychologist. I also want to get married and have a family. But I'll need rehab and disability supports to help me achieve this."

The victim of an unprovoked assault when she was 16, Angela has been left with a severe ABI as a result of this attack. Her parents were told she would be in a persistent vegetative state for the rest of her life and advised to place her in an aged care nursing home.

"I moved home with my parents after living in a rehabilitation nursing home for 2 years..."

My aim is to go back to Uni and finish my teaching degree with my friends. But my rehab funding has been cut.

Recovering from a brain injury is possible if you have the rehabilitation and support resources you need, when you need them.  Sometimes this can take several years and a lot of blood, sweat and tears by everyone involved. But it's worth it...every bit!
