National Assistance Card Supports Brain Injury Awareness Week 2023

About Our 2023 Campaign

As part of our commitment to raising awareness about brain injury across Australia, the National Assistance Card Service have planned a series of initiatives to engage our cardholders, brain injury organisations and the wider community as part of Brain Injury Awareness Week.

‍

How we are supporting Brain Injury Awareness Week in 2023:

‍Raise awareness of brain injury organisations, information and resources

One of our key initiatives is the update of the Helpful Links area on our website, focusing specifically on brain injury resources.

We believe that access to the right information is crucial for understanding and managing brain injury. Brain injury services and resources will be promoted across our social media platforms, including Facebook and LinkedIn, throughout the week.

We are also excited to promote the events, workshops, and other activities organised by brain injury organisations from across Australia during Brain Injury Awareness Week.

We encourage our cardholders and the wider community to participate in these events and access these resources to gain a deeper understanding of brain injury.

We believe that promoting this information aligns strongly with the aims of the National Assistance Card Service. Your involvement can make a significant difference in raising awareness and understanding of brain injury in the community.'

Raise awareness of the National Assistance Card on social media

We encourage cardholders, brain injury organisations and the wider community to support the campaign by sharing information about the National Assistance Card.

As a valuable communication tool for people living with brain injury across Australia, the National Assistance Card can help make a difference for people in their day to day lives, not only in emergency situations.

Please see below for shareable resources and suggested wording that you can use on social media to help raise awareness of brain injury and the Card.

You can find more resources on the Digital Library page of our website, that can be used to help spread the word.

Share your experience of the National Assistance Card

Cardholders and their family members, and organisations, services and businesses are also invited to share their experiences of the National Assistance Card. We believe that these testimonials provide valuable insights and experiences that can help others learn more about the National Assistance Card.

You can submit your testimonial through our new online form at this link.

Show your organisation or business is National Assistance Card Aware

Finally, we are promoting and encouraging organisations, services and businesses to display our new initiative, the Awareness Badge, on their website or social media platforms to show their recognition and support of the National Assistance Card.

Displaying the badge indicates that your staff know how to respond when shown a Card, giving National Assistance Card holders confidence when communicating with your business or organisation.

We provide a recommended best practices guide to help you share the badge and raise awareness of the card.

How To Keep Up To Date

You can follow the National Assistance Card on Facebook or LinkedIn to keep up to date with any activities and learn more about what is happening across the relevant organisations in 2023.

We look forward to a successful Brain Injury Awareness Week and thank everyone for their support.
