About Inability Possability

INABILITY POSSABILITY Inc. is a Melbourne based volunteer organisation, formed in 2001, which seeks to address situations of disadvantage experienced by young people with acquired brain injury requiring high levels of nursing care.  These young people are amongst the vulnerable people in the community.  Due to the nature of their acquired disabilities, they are often powerless to challenge structures that keep them in their position of disadvantage.  Given appropriate environments, resources and care, these young people can continue to make significant improvements for many years, and actively participate as interdependent members of society. 

INABILITY POSSABILITY Inc. seeks to address these problems via a number of approaches, including; advocacy, lobbying key stakeholders including government and health professionals, innovative empowerment projects, community awareness raising, producing publications and resources, undertaking research, working collaboratively with other agencies and connecting young people and their support networks to each other. 
 
INABILITY POSSABILITY Inc. produced a publication 'Still the doors are open - Writings of Life' for the National Summit on young people in nursing homes exploring personal experiences of Acquired Brain Injury, from the perspective of family, friends and carers.  Copies are available from INABILITY POSSABILITY for $20.00
