Values are the beliefs that determine the attitudes and behaviours of the people who deliver rehabilitation services. Collectively these values inform the planning of rehabilitation services and how those services operate. Enacting these values creates an environment and culture where person-centred rehabilitation flourishes. These values are for everyone working in rehabilitation services.
- Respecting the individual and their context
- Working within respectful relationships
- Promoting hopefulness and resilience
- Fostering self-determination
- Partnering with families
- Openness
- Harnessing the lived experience of disability as a valuable resource
- Appreciating community needs and priorities for health and rehabilitation
- Recognising that biopsychosocial factors influence health and functioning.40
