NeckSafe® is the only course in Australia devoted to the Acute Management of Spinal Injuries

It is an 8 hour course specifically dedicated to an injury which could ruin the lives of an individual, his family and friends, and cost the community upwards of $3 million. Law suits in this area commonly top $20 million, but the social devastation can be much worse.
