PBF’s 2022 New Year’s resolution
Back
PBF’s 2022 New Year’s resolution? To reduce the incidence and impact of spinal cord injury in Australia.
Each year, PBF continues to make effort towards this goal.
Established to create greater awareness of the risks of spinal cord injury, we are a national not-for-profit organisation that provides much-needed financial support for those who sustain a permanent traumatic spinal cord injury.
PBF membership provides low-cost financial protection for individuals, couples, families, corporates and clubs. For little more than $1 per week*
*(Please see our Product Disclosure Statement for full terms and conditions.)

We have developed a range of inspirational injury prevention programs that aim to reduce the incidence of serious injury at work or play. Each interactive presentation offers participants a first-hand account of what it is like to experience and live with a spinal cord injury in Australia. Our speakers emphasise safe practices as well as the consequences of making unsafe choices. Often confronting and close to the heart, our speaker stories leave your audience with safety front of mind.

For those already living with a spinal cord injury, PBF also offers peer support programs, lifestyle education and employment opportunities, with the goal of demonstrating that life can and does go on after a spinal cord injury.
To help us on our mission, become a PBF member or book an injury prevention presentation today!
