Support Services

Specialist support to assist people to overcome difficulties in their lives

Lyndoch Living provides specialist services for people who have a diagnosed Acquired Brain Injury (ABI).  The programs offer a flexible response, and individually tailored case management to maximise client outcomes. The programs target two distinct groups:

• People with an Acquired Brain Injury as a result of alcohol and other drugs.
• People with an Acquired Brain Injury that is non- compensable and who have complex issues requiring assistance through case management.

Both programs provide a Case Manager who will work with the individual to identify personal goals and assist in providing appropriate support mechanisms to help work towards those goals. The Case Manager can also assist with the coordination and purchase of support services. Within a three month time frame, the program works toward a planned discharge from the program when the agreed goals have been met.
