🧠 Brain injury can affect us suddenly, and in many cases without warning. Brain Injury may occur from an accident, injury or even because of disease.

No two people living with brain injury are alike - brain injury occurs differently for each individual. Support and care needs also differ and are unique to each person in their journey living with brain injury.

The BISA Foundation is fundraising to help support the carers and families who have a loved one living with brain injury. Your generosity will go towards providing access for these people, who are often forgotten, to support programs, networks, and crucial mental health support and positive outcomes for those supporting someone living with brain injury.

💜 Please make a donation today to help our families get the support they need ⇨ buff.ly/3AQqrnk ... See MoreSee Less

To our BISA Community,

After 45 years in the workforce, some 35 of which have been in leadership positions, I have made the milestone decision to retire at Christmas 2024.

To support BISA have a smooth leadership transition and continue providing the quality services it has become known for, the Board have appointed a transitional CEO who will hold the leadership reins until recruitment of the new CEO can be completed. Tanya Lancaster, a current Board member at BISA, will perform this role, and I will be working closely with her up until our Christmas closure on 20 December to prepare the transition period.

There will be no disruption to the services we normally deliver.

It has been wonderful to have been a part of the BISA community over the last 6 years and overseeing the growth and development of the organisation. I leave behind a strong team of skilled staff who are committed to the needs of the brain injury community.

With thanks,
Liz, CEO

In South Australia, more than 2,500 people acquire their brain injury each year. Each individual has family members who is often an unpaid carer by their side across their journey living with a brain injury.

Family members and carers are not able to access funding to support their health and wellbeing when supporting their loved one living with a brain injury.

To support these families and carers, The BISA Foundation is raising funds and endeavours to roll out support services in 2025, including:

💜 The addition of two Be Well Master Classes per year – an extension of the existing Be Well for Carers program, available to those that have completed this first.

💜 The creation of a monthly brain injury support and education group specifically for carers.

💜 Creation of an online support group for carers.

💜 One social event per Brain Injury SA hub (3 events in total), assisting carers to connect with each other.

📣 Donate today and help make a difference to the lives of our carers and family members supporting people living with brain injury! buff.ly/3Cs3k2W ... See MoreSee Less
