  • What is Acquired Brain Injury?

    NDIS Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)

    An Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) refers to any type of brain damage that occurs after birth, rather than being congenital or hereditary. It can result from a variety of causes such as stroke, trauma, infection, oxygen deprivation, or substance misuse. The effects of an ABI vary greatly depending on the area and severity of the injury, but they often impact cognitive function, memory, communication, behaviour, and physical abilities.

    Individuals with an ABI may experience difficulties in managing everyday tasks, making decisions, or maintaining emotional stability. At Compass Care Group, we understand that living with an ABI can be challenging, both for the individual and their loved ones. That’s why our team provides structured, high-level support focused on cognition, safety, and personal care, helping clients adapt to changes, regain independence, and enhance their overall quality of life within a supportive and understanding environment.

FAQs

What is an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)?

An Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) refers to any brain damage that occurs after birth due to causes such as stroke, trauma, infection, lack of oxygen, or substance misuse. Unlike congenital or degenerative conditions, ABI results from an external or internal event that disrupts normal brain function.

What do I need to include in my NDIS application?

To apply to the NDIS, you will need to complete an Access Request Form

As part of the access request process, you will be asked:

  • To confirm your identity and/or a person’s authority to act on your behalf
  • Questions to see if you meet the NDIS access requirements (age, residence and disability)
  • Questions about providing consent to enter the NDIS and about seeking information from third parties.

It is helpful to provide letters and reports from your treating health professionals with information regarding your acquired brain injury and the impact it has in your everyday life.

Can people with ABI improve over time?

Yes, with consistent therapy, structured routines, and the right support, many individuals show significant improvement in function and quality of life. Recovery varies depending on the cause and severity of the injury, but ongoing rehabilitation and compassionate care play a crucial role in maximising outcomes.

Do I need an Occupational Therapy (OT) report to access the NDIS?

While an OT report is not a requirement for an NDIS application, it is helpful to submit an OT report with your application as this will provide important information as to how your acquired brain injury impacts your functional capacity across the eligibility categories listed above.

The report will link any impairment you experience across the eligibility criteria to your acquired brain injury. The report may not provide specific recommendations for the support you require, but rather it should provide a broader recommendation as to whether NDIS-funded supports are necessary.
