Why support Solidarity Tickets?

By supporting solidarity tickets you are directly contributing to making our meeting more inclusive and diverse. Your support enables us to welcome individuals from all walks of life, regardless of their financial situation. It is a tangible way to show solidarity with others in your community and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to be part of this experience.

How can you donate toward a Solidarity Ticket for someone?

Overview: This interactive session explores the pivotal role clinicians play in supporting people with SCI/D to return to work. It includes practical strategies for embedding vocational identity into therapy, an innovation showcase of assistive technologies, and lived experience reflections. Participants will gain tools and insights to challenge assumptions around disability, explore non-traditional roles post-injury, and promote inclusion and diversity in the workplace.

Speakers: Chau Do, Kiley Pershouse, Suzy Stoikov, and Emily Allan (Queensland Health)
Chair: Kiley Pershouse

Overview: This workshop will introduce attendees to the QuickStart model—an innovative, data-driven approach to spinal cord injury care in Queensland. The session will explore the development and core components of the QuickStart model, demonstrating how it uses clinical informatics and business intelligence tools to enhance decision-making, optimise resources, and improve patient outcomes. Participants will learn from the Queensland Spinal Cord Injuries Service team’s real-world experience in service delivery and evaluation, including key lessons learned and future directions for expanding impact. A panel Q&A and key message wrap-up will provide practical takeaways for applying similar innovations in other settings.

Speaker: Candice Care-Unger

Overview: Sexuality has long been identified as a high priority for people living with Spinal Cord Injury, clinicians agree this is an important aspect of rehabilitation with positive attitudes and beliefs about the need for sexual rehabilitation, yet many members of the MDT report feeling ill prepared to address these concerns in meaningful ways. This interactive workshop is designed for skill acquisition so that all members of the treating team are clear about their opportunities for addressing sexuality in rehabilitation and have a wide range of non-pharmacology interventions for a variety of concerns following spinal cord injury. Using the PLISSIT model we will explore ways to address sexual rehabilitation in inpatient, outpatient and community settings. The workshop will include small group activities, videos, and opportunities to bring theory to practice, so that you can implement your knowledge and imbed your skills straight away.

Overview: an interactive workshop bringing together people with lived experience of spinal cord injury, clinicians, and researchers to explore authentic, inclusive approaches to co-design in disability and rehabilitation research.
