  Headwest also recommends reading the e-booklets and factsheets produced by Headway in England. Please note that these are written for people living in England so legal, welfare and further help sections are not relevant to Australia. 

  Here is the link to Headway's Information library:

  Another great resource is 'ABI - the facts'   (click title to download book) produced by Synpase in Queensland.
