Brain Injury & NDIS Support
At Diverge Supports, we provide compassionate, professional support for people living with brain injuries under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Our goal is to help individuals regain independence, improve quality of life, and participate fully in their community.
Understanding Brain Injury
A brain injury occurs when the brain is damaged by trauma, illness, or lack of oxygen. It can be caused by events such as strokes, accidents, falls, infections, or medical complications. Depending on the severity and area of the brain affected, symptoms can range from mild to profound, and may require long-term support.
Brain injuries are typically classified as:
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Caused by an external force (e.g., car accidents, sporting injuries, falls).
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)
Caused by internal events such as stroke, tumours, lack of oxygen, or infections.
Common Symptoms of Brain Injury
Living with a brain injury can affect physical, cognitive, and emotional functioning. Symptoms may include:
• Memory loss or difficulty concentrating
• Changes in speech and communication
• Mobility challenges or paralysis
• Balance and coordination problems
• Fatigue and reduced stamina
• Vision or hearing impairments
• Emotional changes such as anxiety, depression, or mood swings
• Difficulty managing daily tasks like cooking, dressing, or hygiene
• Behavioural changes and reduced impulse control
Because every brain injury is unique, support needs to be tailored to the individual.
