We are pleased to be hosting AQA as they run their Skills for Independence course here at Sargood!
AQA’s tailor-made five day course is developed to equip people with SCI with the skills, knowledge and confidence to improve their health, further independence and share life experiences. This course will provide you with the essentials to progress through rehab, transition back home or adjust to a change in circumstances.
Developed and led by people with lived experience, Skills for Independence will be held at the specialist SCI resort Sargood on Collaroy, located in northern Sydney, NSW.
