Brightwater was delighted to welcome Hon. Meredith Hammat MLA, Minister for Health and Mental Health, to our Oats Street rehabilitation program in East Victoria Park last week.
Minister Hammat toured the site with CEO Catherine Stoddart, COO Kelly Worlock, GM of Disability Janet Wagland, and Chair Joanne Farrell to learn more about our one-of-a-kind program supporting people living with acquired brain injuries.
The visit provided an opportunity to share how Brightwater’s evidence-based model supports recovery through person-centred, community-based rehabilitation — helping people rebuild skills, confidence and independence after brain injury.
Brightwater is proud to partner with the Cook Government to ensure people with complex neurological care needs can access community rehabilitation, where they can pursue the dignity of independence.
We’re grateful to Minister Hammat for taking the time to see the difference this program makes and for recognising the importance of community-based rehabilitation in improving outcomes for Western Australians living with brain injury.
