Across the last 12 months community gatherings, events and industry networking has gained momentum again after a quiet few years, creating regular opportunities for organisations to connect with the people in their community, and build connections with others in the sector.
These events have provided an opportunity for BISA to raise awareness of the diversity and number of services and supports we now offer, as well as grow general community awareness and understanding of acquired brain injury, enabling us to increase the number of people that we can provide specialist support to.
Across the year we have:
- Launched our LinkedIn business profile to build connections with staff and other industry professionals, reaching more than 22,000 people across 10 months
- Built a continual growing social community through increased connections of 112% on Facebook, and more than 270% on Instagram
- Hosted 3 ‘Meet and Greet’ events (one per Hub) to connect with local disability organisations introducing them to our staff, our service offerings and showcasing our facilities
- Attended 3 disability expo events in Adelaide, and more than 20 other industry events to build connections with likeminded organisations
- Reached more than 100,000 people across print and digital channels as part of an awareness raising campaign on acquired brain injury
- Shared (with permission) more than 9 client stories of personal successes and achievements.
