In 1988, Greg Brown was severely injured during a robbery and left for dead on a railway platform, with only a 5% chance of survival. The brain injuries from the attack left him wheelchair-bound for the past 30 years. Despite the odds, Greg, now 51, is a passionate Roosters supporter and an active member of his Sydney community. His resilience, along with the dedicated support of his Care1 team, has enabled him to live a fulfilling life, with a quality of life that was once thought impossible.
Greg Brown
An acquired brain injury story
Janice Eldridge was a passionate motorcyclist who loved riding her Honda 750 Shadow. Before a tragic motorcycle accident in 2012 near Young, NSW, Janice ran the local pub in Murrumburrah and was deeply involved in her community, often helping disabled children. The accident left her with a severe brain injury, leaving her unable to walk or talk, but with the dedicated care of her support team and daughter, Alison, Janice continues to show her love and resilience, often expressing "I love you" to Alison.

Receiving care as a consequence of an acquired brain injury
My name is Trevor Clone. I have a disability that I sustained in a motorbike accident, where I broke every bone above my waist. That’s all healed up now, but I still have a brain injury. I’m unable to see out of my right eye, and the right side of my body is quite impaired.
Care1 has been absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend them. Although I haven't used any other services, I’ve found Care1 to be incredibly professional and caring.

As well as funding, the NDIS provides support by being a hub of information that helps connect people living with a disability to the services available within their communities.
Financial support is available through the NDIS. Read more at our NDIS section.

“Every person deserves the best care and the best quality of life possible & care1 is here to make it happen.”
At Care1 our motto is ‘People First’. But this isn’t just something we say – it’s something we live and breathe every day. Care1 was founded on the belief that every person deserves the best care and the best quality of life possible.
Fed up with organisations using the needs of vulnerable individuals to access funding and deliver substandard care, our founder Damon Ashton created Care1 as a better choice for families, carers, and those in the disability services industry who wanted – and believed in – a better and more caring future for all.
