Forward Ability Support

ParaQuad NSW is now Forward Ability Support Since we first began as ParaQuad NSW back in 1961, we've been dedicated to supporting people living with spinal cord injury in the community. Rolling forward to today, we're proud to make a real difference in the lives of our members, clients, customers and extended team. Our experience of working with people every day gives us great insight and understanding of how far-reaching the effects of spinal cord injury are, not just for the individual but also their families and extended community. These insights have moulded and formed how we support a range of people with healthcare needs. And while the brand of ParaQuad NSW has stood us in good stead for 60 years, we need to evolve, to broaden our horizons and lift our scope. That is why we are evolving from the ParaQuad NSW name into Forward Ability Support - a name that reflects the positive, life-affirming attributes of our organisation. Forward embodies the idea that no matter where any of us may be physically or mentally, at any point in time, there is always the opportunity to move forward. Our new brand Forward brings a reinvigorated vision that represents everything we all work so hard to achieve; creating possibilities, bringing hope and joy to our clients, leading the way with knowledge and expertise and supporting those living with a spinal cord injury towards a brighter, positive future. While our name has changed, our vision to support people living with spinal cord injury live their best life remains stronger than ever. We're excited to move FORWARD, creating an environment where positivity matters, making a difference matters, and every day matters. Forward Ability Support is a registered charity, and our social enterprise, BrightSky Australia, is a leading supplier of specialist healthcare products. Forward Ability Support is the trading name of The Paraplegic and Quadriplegic Association of NSW.
