OUR MISSION
Connect & Empower People
Living with an ABI.
Western Australian Volunteers sharing their first-hand experience, guidance and trusted brain injury resources with you.
Continuing your Recovery from Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)
A voice for people living with, or impacted by brain injury.
BEYOND ABI is a Western Australian not-for-profit organisation led by individuals who have directly experienced the impact of an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) themselves.
We are a caring community that provides information, peer support, and personal guidance to people impacted by an ABI, offering them hope, support and opportunities. Led entirely by Volunteers, with the lived experience of ABI ourselves – assisting people widely (individuals, their carers, support networks, and organisations) anyone directly or indirectly affected by brain injury.
NB Beyond ABI is not a direct service provider, we do not employ medical professionals.
Connections. Care. Compassion.

All about the Priorities and Views of our Community of People living with ABI.
Few people truly understand the personal impact brain injury can have...unless you’ve been there yourself.
We know the time following injury is often one, full of worry, complexities, and uncertainty – for everyone concerned. Sometimes life-altering effect, other times incredibly subtle (…quite difficult to express.)
Outcomes can be emotional, behavioural, physical, or cognitive change, with lasting effect on existing or future relationships – factors like those often make Recovery Processes even more complex.
Beyond ABI (BABI) provides advice, peer-to-peer support, resources and information to help individuals, and their close family units – in other words, any person either directly or indirectly affected from different stages of Acquired Brain Injury (ABI).
- Service to the ABI Community;
- Peer-to-peer support;
- Digital Resources, Information;
- Social Connection, Emotional Support, or Mentoring;
- Conduit to Allied Health services & in-home support;
- Shared Stories, Creativity;
- Re-Training members (helping family and carers to manage expectations);
- Vocational assistance; facilitate introductions; and
- Community Awareness, Education, or Events about ABI.
We are people solving real-world problems (based on our own lived experience and real-life ABI successes).
Guiding you to re-enter your world after an ABI: making the journey easier to navigate, where exactly you are on the next step to Recovery. Ensuring our members, their families, and carers get access to appropriate resources, information, networks, and importantly, vital encouragement.
Here with us, you’ll always find real support from other ABI survivors who really know – because we ourselves have the lived experience and understand what it is you’re going through.
