Established in 1984, the ABI team provides a state-wide
specialist services to families and professionals dealing with Acquired Brain Injury
resulting from situations such as accidents or illness. Core functions include direct
counselling services to families, consultation and training services to professionals
and research on family adjustment to ABI.
The ABI team remains the only publically funded
specialist ABI service in Victoria, with ongoing funding for the team's activities
made available through Department of Human Services.
The team relies on a mix of core funding and externally
generated funds to support its activities. The Bouverie ABI team is committed to
supporting workers/agencies throughout Victoria to work more effectively with families
coping with the impact of ABI.
A brochure outlining support services to ABI organisations
and related services is available from the Bouverie Centre. Counselling is provided
to families by experienced ABI team members.
