Acute Spinal Cord Injury Cord Grants

Alinea offers grant support to individuals transitioning into community living, following a period of hospitalisation for significant spinal cord injury or disease. The Acute Spinal Cord Injury Grant provides financial assistance upon first discharge from acute care, to help with the purchase of essential equipment that aids or maintains sustainable rehabilitation.

Establishment Grants

An extension to the Acute Spinal Cord Injury Grant, Alinea provides further support to people moving back into the community following a period of hospitalisation for significant injury.

People with permanent spinal cord injury moving to independent community accommodation are able to apply for a further $1,000 to assist with the costs of re-establishing themselves in a new home or community accommodation.

To be eligible you must also be a current client with the Organisation.
