The WA Constitutional Affairs Committee investigated the funding and care for people with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) following a petition. The report acknowledges a lack of appropriate care and facilities, supporting recommendations in the State Plan to improve the situation, including increased funding. The Committee awaits the finalisation of the State Plan review before further inquiries.
