6.2 Planning frameworks inform plan format

Every rehabilitation service has their preferred rehabilitation plan template. This will be influenced by:

  • the nature and context of the service
  • service and team preferences
  • team type
  • stakeholder requirements.

The following format was developed in the NSW Health rehabilitation context. It presents a single goal, but most people will have more than one goal.

This example is not intended for use as a rehabilitation plan template, but rather to demonstrate the hierarchical relationship between goals, steps and actions when documenting a rehabilitation plan.
