Our Staff
The services and support provided by the New Zealand Spinal Trust (NZST) are made possible through the work of our staff, volunteers, businesses, sponsors, organisations, individuals, and trustees.
As a community, we care deeply about independent living and improving the quality of rehabilitation for Kiwis affected by a spinal cord injury and impairment (SCI). Our staff work from the Burwood Spinal Unit in Christchurch and the Otara Spinal Rehabilitation Unit in Auckland and offer three key services. Our services are free of charge to anyone in New Zealand who has an SCI.
