Rehabilitation Resources

These resources support clinical care, service delivery and education related to the provision of rehabilitation care. Rehabilitation care has the aim of restoring functional ability for a person who has experienced an illness or injury using a biopsychosocial approach. Rehabilitation is person centred, multi-disciplinary, evidence based and coordinated care provided in the least restrictive care setting available to the patient.
