Acquired Brain Injury Care Services
Acquired Brain Injury Care Services
Drake Medox provides high and complex care services for individuals at home and within the community. Our services can range from only a few hours a day up to 24-hour support. Our values and ethos are built on the foundations of respect, dignity and professionalism. The complex nature of the brain means that people with an ABI can experience a wide range of physical, mental, sensory, behavioural and emotional symptoms. The recovery and care after brain injury differs from person to person due to of the variations in where the brain is injured and extent of the brain injury.
Our complex care team work closely with each individual and their family members, other health professionals, as well as community agencies to develop and implement a person-centred support plan for our clients. The individual is always at the centre of planning, and we seek preferences and input throughout the entire process.
We have a team of qualified support staff who have extensive experience and specialise in high and complex behavioural needs. Working with the individual, our team develops goal-orientated support plans with a strong focus around independence, encouragement, mobility and personal care along with the development of new skills for our ABI clients. Our clients and their families are also encouraged to be part of the recruitment process of our teams – each disability support team is recruited based on the specific care requirements and unique needs of the client. In addition to clinical care, we provide wider support, including social interaction and involvement in interests and activities that can help support emotional wellbeing and quality of life for clients and their families that have been affected by ABI. Ultimately, our goal is to expand each person’s participation in all aspects of everyday life.

“I would like to thank you for the very high standard of support that continues to be and has been provided to my daughter over the past four years.
My daughter is 22 years old, her disabilities (including Global Learning Delay and severe Verbal Dyspraxia) affect her ability to communicate. Drake Medox's provision of support workers for community access on a weekly basis has helped to improve her quality of life and continued growth beyond the home environment.
Stability and flexibility of staff in relation to her care have fulfilled an important role and contributed positively to the whole family. We feel very lucky to know our loved one is in trusted care.”

“I have 24/7 support workers and they're all great. I'm there to get more independence and doing lots of cooking and cleaning. They're really good. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. The routine is good, I get to know who is coming in next.” - Client - Barney
“If I could give them 20 stars I would! They go above and beyond the call of duty where others have failed. They give me the will to live and have made it possible for me to keep living at home knowing that they’re there to support me every day!” - Client – Beverly Pound
“I have worked with Drake Medox Canberra as a disability support worker for roughly over 6 months now. Working at Drake is a relaxed environment and you are supported by the management 24/7 if you need help, have any questions or queries. The management/staff are approachable and very supportive. They have flexible working hours which works out great for me as a mum who has to juggle both work and family! They also try and match me with clients that they know I will get on well with. The weekly pay is a bonus. I would highly recommend working for Drake Medox!”
