The Laura Fergusson Brain Injury Trust is an independent, charitable, community rehabilitation and residential provider. We specialise in providing assessments, rehabilitation, and support for those impacted by brain, spinal and other injuries.
We recognise that health and disability services do not currently work well for many Maori and Pacific clients and are committed to growing the capability of all our staff to provide culturally responsive services. Establishing this Pou Arahi leadership role is the next step in our cultural journey.
A fitting whakatauki that encapsulates our intent is 'Te toia, te haumatia' - signifying that nothing can come to fruition without a well-devised strategy, a dedicated team, and a systematic approach.
