Kia ora koutou katoa
ABI Rehabilitation New Zealand provides residential and community-based rehabilitation services for people with traumatic brain injury or stroke.
We were the first specialist provider in New Zealand dedicated to brain injury rehabilitation. The service is fully funded by ACC and the Ministry of Health.
Our team has extensive experience and expertise across medical, nursing, therapy and support services.
We are passionate about delivering a service that exceeds the expectations of clients, families-whānau and funders and we are dedicated to continually improving the services we offer.
In recent years we have expanded to provide research and teaching capacity and developed close links for learning both here and internationally.
We believe in offering a service of excellence that meets the cultural needs and values of all of the people of Aotearoa New Zealand. Particularly for Tangata Whenua, we have established dedicated staff and leadership to guide the service in meeting the needs and expectations of Māori.
If we can help, we are honoured to serve you. We hope you will find this website useful. It is a small contribution but it is given with love.
E iti noa ana, na te aroha.
