The Spinal Cord Injury Network (Australia and New Zealand) was formed to assist groups in Australia and New Zealand who are involved with spinal cord injury (SCI) research, to work together and with people with SCI for their benefit. Our aim is to provide practical benefits to people recovering from SCI by providing leadership for research, facilitating effective clinical trials, promoting evidence-based practices for treatment, and ensuring communication between researchers, other groups and people with SCI. Representatives with SCI work with the Clinical Trials and Research Development committees to identify the issues that are important in improving quality of life for people with SCI. This is a unique opportunity for people with SCI to have a say on the research that is needed to get the best treatment and recovery.

The Spinal Cord Injury Network website provides updates on current research projects, information on clinical trials, opportunities to participate in research studies, as well as useful links for people with SCI. People with SCI can join free of charge and receive regular updates and newsletters from the Spinal Cord Injury Network. Visit the Spinal Cord Injury Network website for further information.
