We are often called to the table of federal and state government authorities to develop solutions to social and economic issues that affect communities and to campaign accordingly.” Overall, despite the increasingly competitive market the future looks bright and offers lots of opportunities, as Spinal Life is in a very strong position to thrive. “To ensure that we continue to grow and build upon our current success, Spinal Life Australia is developing a new Strategic Business Plan, which will guide future targeted growth and development opportunities that will ensure we deliver a specialist range of disability services for many years to come while growing our member and client base. We are also investing in research and community partnerships and are always looking at how we can review our models and services to stay current and relevant. “To date, we have offices in Brisbane, Townsville, and Cairns. One of our goals for the future is to extend our services and offices into more regional and rural areas to assist in supporting people across Queensland, Northern Australia, and into the Pacific, and we are looking forward to being able to provide our high-quality services to a wider range of clients over the months and years ahead.”
