Alinea can assist in grant and funding applications and spending
We provide support to individuals who are recovering or living with a disability injury by providing grants and support.

Acute Spinal Cord Injury Cord Grants
Alinea offers grant support to individuals transitioning into community living following a period of hospitalisation for significant spinal cord injury or disease. The Acute Spinal Cord Injury Grant provides financial assistance upon first discharge from acute care to help with the purchase of essential equipment that aids or maintains sustainable rehabilitation.
Establishment Grants
As an extension to the Acute Spinal Cord Injury Grant, Alinea provides further support to people moving back into the community following a period of hospitalisation for significant injury.
People with permanent spinal cord injury moving to independent community accommodation are able to apply for a further $1,000 to assist with the costs of re-establishing themselves in a new home or community accommodation.
To be eligible, you must also be a current client of the Organisation.
Maud Zervos Education Grants
The organisation offers education grants to children of parent/s with a disability who are financial members of Alinea.
The Department of Education of WA coordinates the advertising and selection process for Maud Zervos Education Grants. A panel from the Department of Education will conduct the selection process and forward their recommendations to the Executive Director, who will review them and advise the Board accordingly.
For additional information or to lodge an application, please visit the Department of Education’s scholarships webpage.
Medical and Related Research Grants
Alinea has a firm commitment to research, both in respect of prevention and new methods of treatment. The Organisation recognises that primary medical research is fundamental in determining and evaluating new methods of treatment and prevention of spinal cord injury or disease.
Equipment for Living and Disability Equipment Grants
Alinea assists current financial members in applying for grants from The Independent Living Centre to purchase capital items of equipment that will facilitate access to employment, education or training or simply improve the quality of life.
Please visit the Independent Living Centre’s website to view the entire list of items and equipment available for funding.
