This Friday is World SCI Day, a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by people living with a spinal cord injury. This year, the theme of ‘Fall Prevention’ asks each of us to consider safe environments in the home, in public spaces, and in the workplace.

It's a timely reminder to consider Workplace Adjustments and to reach out to expert organisations such as EmployAbility, to help ensure your workplace manages risks effectively.

This week is , we’re proud to launch EmployAbility for people with a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It’s a free, tailored vocational program beginning in September 2025, delivered in partnership with Spinal Cord Injuries Australia (SCIA).

icare and SCIA have worked with a TBI Advisory Group to adapt the EmployAbility Program, originally developed for people with physical disability, to meet the needs of those with a TBI.

EmployAbility is designed to meet participants exactly where they are - whether exploring paid work, volunteering, or simply building confidence and skills. The program offers:

• Lived-experience coaching
• 1:1 job-readiness support
• Flexible online job-skills training
• Inclusive employer connections

We’re inspired by stories like Binod’s, who shared in Shine Winter 2025:

“The EmployAbility program changed my life. They go above and beyond; not just to help find a job, but to support you emotionally and practically.”

If you know someone with a TBI who’s ready to explore work options or develop their skills, encourage them to apply: https://f.mtr.cool/pscissqcml

With Brain Injury Awareness Week now in full swing, its the perfect time to remind you that we are now recruiting TBI participants for our Employment program.

Its FREE, numbers are capped to ensure participants are looked after, its run at their speed and our coaches all have lived experience of disability.

If you or a loved one or a client is a person with a TBI and is looking to return to work, please register their name via https://employability.org.au/tbi/
