About
Who We Are
Acquired Brain Injury Specialist
The house and services originated through Lidcombe Hospital (Head Injury Unit) in response to the lack of services available for both the person with acquired brain injury and their families upon returning into the community.
Successful transition into the community followed within a few years and in 1989 the purpose built Headway House was opened at 6 Percy Street Bankstown. In 1992 Headway ADP became an incorporated association and we retain this status to this very day. As a proud Not For Profit we remain committed to many of the original goals of the founding members and community.
How Headway ADP has changed over the years.
The program structure has changed over the years from a respite based model to independent living training and then in 1998 a community access service.
Since 2016, Headway ADP has established its position as a specialist provider of NDIS Services to people living with an Acquired Brain Injury. Funding is received from the Federal Government through the National Disability Insurance Scheme, South West Sydney Local Health District and Individually funded packages.
Headway ADP is a not-for-profit organisation incorporated under the Associations Incorporation Act. Headway ADP has Deductible Gift Recipient status and is a Public Benevolent Institution. All donations over $2.00 are tax deductible.
What we do
Our experienced staff have a sound knowledge of the complexity of issues surrounding acquired brain injury.
And just as each brain injury is unique, so too is the support provided by Headway ADP. We understand that life can change dramatically after a brain injury and we look forward to working in partnership with you as you navigate the changes in your life.
Finding Headway ADP was the start of all the changes in my life.
Your involvement with Headway ADP is entirely up to you. You can be involved in as little or as much as you choose. You choose the goals and direction. Individual plans encompass community access, daily living skills, organisation and planning, case co-ordination, leisure, recreation and social support and community education. Or you can join one or more groups or just come along to the social outings
