Understanding Spina Bifida
Spina bifida is a neural tube defect that occurs when the spine and spinal cord do not form properly during early pregnancy. It affects approximately 1 in 1,000 births in Australia. The severity depends on the type: spina bifida occulta (mildest, often undiagnosed), meningocele (moderate), and myelomeningocele (most severe, with the spinal cord and nerves exposed). Myelomeningocele causes partial or complete paralysis below the affected level, along with bowel and bladder dysfunction, hydrocephalus, and orthopaedic complications. Many people with spina bifida also experience latex allergy, skin breakdown from reduced sensation, and learning difficulties. With modern medical care and the right support, most people with spina bifida live into adulthood and many live independently. The biggest challenges are often around continence management, skin integrity, and maintaining mobility as they age.
How spina bifida affects daily life
Spina bifida affects daily life through mobility limitations, bowel and bladder management, and reduced sensation below the level of the lesion. Continence management routines (intermittent catheterisation and bowel programmes) are time-consuming and require privacy, planning, and supplies. Reduced sensation means pressure injuries can develop without the person feeling pain, making skin checks and pressure care essential. Many people with spina bifida use wheelchairs or walking aids, and maintaining mobility through physiotherapy and exercise is a lifelong requirement. For children, managing continence at school and participating in physical activities require planning and support.
What to look for in a provider
Good spina bifida providers understand the multi-system nature of the condition. Ask whether they can manage continence care, whether their physiotherapists have paediatric or neurological experience, and whether they know how to check for and prevent pressure injuries. Red flags include providers who focus only on mobility without addressing continence, skin integrity, and hydrocephalus management, or who are not aware of latex allergy precautions. For children and adolescents, providers who can support the transition from parent-managed care to self-management are particularly valuable.
How to access funding
Spina bifida is on the NDIS List A, meaning a confirmed diagnosis from a paediatrician, neurologist, or neurosurgeon provides automatic NDIS access. Children access the NDIS from birth, and early intervention can begin immediately. Plans are reviewed annually. Continence supplies are funded through Core - Consumables, and these should be reviewed regularly to ensure adequate supply. A support coordinator helps manage the multiple medical and therapy providers that spina bifida typically requires across the lifespan.
