Course description
This course provides professionals working in a wide variety of settings, including the health, education and welfare, occupational and industrial arenas, with a comprehensive introduction to rehabilitation concepts and practices. It is designed to prepare students from a range of health and human service delivery backgrounds to work with populations characterised by chronic illness or disability. The course aims to develop within participants an approach to rehabilitation service delivery which is focused on client involvement, coordination of services and the maintenance of individuals in the community. The content reflects recent developments in rehabilitation both at the Commonwealth and State level, including occupational and community-based rehabilitation systems.
