How Headstart Can Help

We have been assisting people with acquired brain injury live their best life since 1987! Our experience across the Hunter, Port Stephens and the Central Coast looks different for everyone and covers these five key areas:

Planning and coordination

It’s important for you to know about the variety of options and services that may suit you and your future . Our support coordinators understand brain injury and can assist you to find providers to best fit your choices and needs.

Sport, recreation and creativity

Our focus on sports and recreational activities, and being creative are about being part of the community. Activities are geared towards the needs of all abilities. If variety is the spice of life, why not join us and try new things?

Family, friendships and community

We help to reconnect people to others or things that are important to them, and we help people find new passions. Our social activities are a stepping stone to rebuild skills and find others who share same or similar interests.

Community awareness education

Our CET is a key part of our commitment to people living with a brain injury while remaining heartily committed to prevention. Our participants receive training and support to deliver this innovative and creative project.

Everyday life and independence

We provide individually tailored 1:1 supports to meet the unique needs of an individual with preferences in life. We can provide anything from a few hours per week to 24/7 supports and looks different for everyone.
