In partnership with Spinal Life Australia, THC researchers are looking to investigate the tourism experiences of people with SCI when travelling on the Gold Coast. We are interested in how people with SCI experience tourism activities within the Gold Coast region, to help us identify what is working, what is not working, and what is needed to achieve accessible tourism in the region.
