The purpose of the Community Rehabiliation Special Interest Group (CRSIG) (formerly known as the Community Rehabilitation Workforce Project - CRWP) is to facilitate information sharing across Community Rehabiliation workforce members to support the development of a community rehabilitation identity and optimise the capability of the workforce to develop, implement and evaluate community rehabilitation programs. It will provide an opportunity to:

• Develop Cross Service networks and information sharing to contribute to service continuity
• Gain a fuller understanding of the provision of Community Rehabilitation in Queensland
• Provide an opportunity for professional development, networking, resource sharing and reflective practice with peers
• Provide a vehicle for advocacy for community rehabilitation services

GREAT NEWS!! The CRSIG will continue to meet once every two months via videoconference after the project ends. For details regarding the next CRSIG meeting, contact Kiley Pershouse, Program Manager, Spinal Outreach Team - kiley_pershouse@health.qld.gov.au.

 

Definition of Community Rehabilitation

 Community Rehabilitation is a process that seeks to equip, empower and provide education and training for rehabilitation clients, carers, family, community members and the community sector to take on appropriate roles in the delivery of health and rehabilitation services to achieve enhanced and sustainable client outcomes.

It is therefore a broad and diverse area which generally encompasses:

• The physical, social and attitudinal environment in which services are delivered
• The use of networks to create a complete response to consumer needs
• The engagement of consumers in their own rehabilitation

This definition was adapted from 'CBR' a strategy for rehabilitation, equalisation of opportunities, poverty reduction and social inclusion of people with disabilities; joint position paper 2004', International Labour Organisation, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisational and the World Health Organisation.
