Client profile - Randwick Deng

Randwick Deng, a 28-year-old man who immigrated at the age of eight to Australia from Sudan with his
family. Growing up in suburban Melbourne, Randwick maintained strong ties with his Sudanese
community in Dandenong.
An unfortunate incident at a party resulted in a brain injury that changed the direction of his life. This case
study explores Randwick’s journey, from his aspirations and passions before the accident to the
challenges he faces in adapting to a new life after the brain injury.

Introduction
Randwick’s family’s move from Sudan to Australia presented a significant cultural transition at a young
age. Despite this, he embraced his new home and developed close relationships with the Sudanese
community in Dandenong in the outer suburbs of Melbourne. He shared a love for music with a group of
close mates and enjoyed his work as an electrician. Additionally, he enjoyed mentoring young people from
the local community.

The accident and rehab

Four years ago, a balcony collapsed while he was playing music with his friends at a party. This incident
left him with a severe brain injury, impacting his mobility, memory and cognitive abilities. He spent eight
months in hospital and underwent extensive rehabilitation.

Transition to supported living

Randwick’s brain injury not only affected his physical abilities but also led to significant changes in his
personal identity. His inability to play music while he recovered, which was once his passion and source of
joy, left a void in his life. Moreover, his cognitive decline affected his ability to work as an electrician and
fulfill his mentoring role in the Sudanese community, causing further distress and feelings of loss.
Randwick found joy and connection in playing music and mentoring young people. The connection with
his culture that both of these things provided were particularly important – they provided him with a sense
of familiarity and security. He appreciated the opportunity to share stories, memories and customs with
people who understood his background and experiences. He also relished the opportunity to communicate
in his first language.
He now feels that he has lost his identity. The supported living home where he resides does not allow him
to play music because they say it is disruptive to the other people living in the house and he is only
allowed to have two friends over at one time. He misses the large groups of family and friends that he was
always surrounded with. He is lonely and is struggling to find a sense of purpose.

Conclusion
Randwick’s life journey reflects the importance of cultural identity, community connections and social
connection in person-centred care and support.
While his health challenges required a move to supported living, his ability to adapt and reestablish his
music, social and cultural connections are essential in navigating this new phase of his life and should be
supported and prioritised.
