PBF aims to reduce the number of people becoming permanently paralysed each year due to spinal cord injury. We have developed award winning Prevention Programs that aim to reduce the incidence of serious injury at work and at play. In 2014 our workplace, aqua and youth injury prevention programs reached more than 48,000 Australians. Life after a spinal cord injury can feel overwhelming. From a logistical perspective, major adjustments are required to your home, vehicle, and workplace to enable you to maintain your independence. In addition, rehabilitation and ongoing daily living costs continue to exist and grow. Headquartered in Perth and Brisbane, PBF Australia protects over 70,000 members nationwide and employs more than 40 people living with long-standing spinal cord injury. For less than $1 per week, PBF Australia members who sustain a permanent spinal cord injury are eligible to claim a member benefit of $250,000. We offer private and corporate memberships plus packages designed for sporting events. PDG John Iriks thanked Rob for his entertaining and inspirational presentation.

Doc says "I'll give you some cream to put on it." I wish i were a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. 'Cos how can you be grumpy when the sun shines out your bum! Learn to listen Opportunity sometimes knocks softly Then there was a group of senior citizens were sitting around talking about their ailments. "I guess that s the price we pay for getting old," winced an old man as he shook his head. "My arms are so weak I can hardly hold this cup of coffee," said one. "Yes, I know. My cataracts are so bad I can t even see my coffee" replied another. "It has gotten to where I cannot hear anything anymore." said one in the loudest voice of the group. "I can t turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck," said a third, to which several nodded weakly in agreement. "My blood pressure pills make me dizzy," claimed another. "I can t even remember what I m doing half the time; if I don t make myself a note I forget what I am trying to do in the first place" chimed yet another. short moment of silence..."well, it s not that bad," said one woman cheerfully. "Thank the Lord we can all still drive."
