Our Strategy

This financial year brought us to the end of our 3 year strategy. The pandemic was still in force and in addition a number of teams were impacted by natural disasters. Throughout, we continued to work towards our goals delivering positive outcomes for our organisation and community.

Purpose

To create a world where people with spinal/neuro conditions and their loved ones thrive

Aligning core areas of impact to the UN Sustainable Development Goals means SCIA can ensure that the work we do is contributing to a sustainable future.

SCIA is committed to an equitable Australia that recognises the significant contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples on whose lands we live and work.

This last year we launched our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and started on the journey of learning and listening.

Our leadership team have enjoyed participating in cultural competence training and learning more about the important process of Reconciliation. Training will be rolled out to all employees in 2022/23 committing SCIA to becoming a culturally safe organisation.

SCIA has been looking at procurement to move towards greater environmental sustainability making the switch to more sustainable products where possible and continuing to encourage employees to switch to sustainable solutions in the home through information sharing.

SCIA is a diverse organisation, over 22% of our employees and 70% of our Board have a disability. To further promote diversity, we continued to support the Human Rights Commission ‘Racism. It Stops with Me’ Campaign as well as Wear It Purple Day.

This June, with our technology provider Cubesys, we launched a fun interactive internal impact measurement process to track our progress towards achieving social impact. A quarter of our employees have already signed up to participate.
