The National Brain Injury Foundation was established with one simply stated aim:
To care for and to assist those with Acquired Brain Injury and their families.

Caring is intended to take many forms including:

• the extension of love, friendship and compassion to those the Foundation serves;
• the provision of appropriate accommodation and support for those who need it;
• encouragement and assistance of those with ABI to achieve their maximum potential;
• support for families through the provision of
  • a sympathetic and understanding ear;
  • a meeting place for carers to share experiences and provide mutual support;
  • respite services for carers.

The Foundation is to assist by:

• providing advice on, or access to, health care and legal services, and rehabilitation therapy;
• undertaking lobbying activities and advocacy on behalf of its client group;
• promoting and assisting research into the treatment of ABI;
• raising public awareness of the needs of those with ABI.

In serving those who seek its help, the guiding principle of the Foundation is that its members should at all times provide understanding, compassionate and loving care.
