Spinal Home Help is a Brisbane based not-for-profit organisation. Volunteers include people who have experienced a spinal cord injury (SCI) and their partners and friends who donate their time to share their experiences. All volunteers with a SCI are either working, studying or active members of the community. They offer their time to share thoughts on simple strategies to leading an active rewarding lifestyle.

SHH volunteers are available to meet face to face in the local Brisbane area or may be contacted by people living in rural or regional Queensland to discuss issues via Telephone, Email, Facebook or Skype. SHH volunteers aim to respond to requests for assistance within 24 hours of contact. Contact and services is client driven, and ongoing support is determined by the client's assessment of meeting their needs and objectives. An example of services provided could be to help arrange holiday accommodation or simply to accompany clients out into the community.
