Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)
When a brain injury occurs, the effects ripple outward into almost every corner of daily life. Concentration, movement, speech, emotional regulation, memory, and social connection can all be touched in ways that shift and change over time. At People’s First Choice Australia, we do not approach ABI support with a fixed formula. We start by understanding the person in front of us and build everything from there.
How PFCA Supports ABI Participants
- Flexible daily living support adapted to cognitive fluctuations and physical capacity
- Social participation support to help participants stay connected to people and community
- Positive behaviour support developed in collaboration with registered practitioners
- Structured routines, visual cues, and memory aids to support daily independence
- Recreational and community access activities aligned with participant interests
- Ongoing coordination with neuropsychologists, occupational therapists, and rehabilitation teams
- Targeted support and guidance for carers and family members
Our Approach to ABI Support
Brain injury recovery does not follow a straight line and neither does our support. We train our workers specifically in ABI, which means they understand the fatigue cycles, the emotional shifts, and the good days and harder days that come with this type of injury. Our whole approach is strengths-based because focusing on what someone can do opens far more doors than dwelling on limitations.
Whether your needs are complex and around the clock, or focused and targeted at specific times of the day, we build a schedule that works for your life. Our ABI participants across Victoria get a consistent team who know them well, and that consistency makes a measurable difference to outcomes over time.
What We Provide for ABI Participants
- Meal preparation, household errands, and domestic task support
- Personal hygiene, grooming, and morning or evening routine assistance
- NDIS and NDIA-funded community access and recreational participation
- Complex care including nutrition support, medication administration, and mobility assistance
- Overnight and 24-hour support for participants with higher or unpredictable care needs
- Augmentative and alternative communication support
- Emotional regulation support and connection to psychological services
Collaboration With Allied Health Professionals
Our support does not operate in isolation. We actively coordinate with speech pathologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, and rehabilitation consultants to make sure every part of a participant’s care is working toward the same goals. That integration is what separates meaningful ABI support from basic task assistance.
