The Australian Government’s Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) has recently released copies of the ABI training DVD, produced with Brain Injury Australia, to all Job Capacity Assessment providers nationwide.

It has also placed the DVD’s contents onto DEEWR’s interactive “Learning Centre”.

The 3 training modules in the DVD “Job Capacity Assessments—Customers with an Acquired Brain Injury” will enable Employment Services Provider and Centrelink staff as well as Job Capacity Assessors to correctly assess an ABI and its impacts on a customer; will help in the identification of a customer’s ABI where the injury is understated, undisclosed or undocumented; and provides tips on interviewing customers with an ABI.

Brain Injury Australia has a number of copies of the DVD available to purchase, for $20.00 per copy posted, including GST. The order form can be e-mailed to admin@braininjuryaustralia.org.au or posted to Brain Injury Australia at PO Box 220, Marrickville NSW 1475.
