    What do we mean by support? The receipt of disability services and compensation for people with a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) in Victoria
    WEST, RAELENE ( 2012)
    This qualitative study examines the concept of support for people with a permanent impairment of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) in Victoria. It examines the concept of support in relation to receipt of funded services and compensation provided by three of the state’s major support funders - the Department of Human Services, the Transport Accident Commission and the Victorian WorkCover Authority, and examines the various legal and policy frameworks designed to support people with SCI. Utilising relativist and constructivist grounded theory approaches, it examines the experiences of 11 participants who receive services from within this service framework, and examines how support within this framework is understood and conceptualized and what it means for the these participants to feel supported.
