The Rehabilitation Collective has been established to provide high quality, person centred, goal directed and evidence based therapy services for individuals with neurological conditions including traumatic brain injury, acquired brain injury, stroke and other neurological conditions.
PRACTICE
AREAS
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Occupational Therapy aims to maximise the independence of the individual in whichever tasks, activities or roles they value, to lead the life they aspire to.
Acquired brain injury or a neurological condition can affect any one, or combination of domains including motor, cognitive, sensory, perceptual or psychosocial functioning which can impede engagement in valued occupations.
Through targeted assessment and collaborative goal setting, an individualised intervention plan is established using evidence-based approaches to attain your goals together.
The Rehabilitation Collective is a registered therapy support provider for the NDIS.
NEUROLOGICAL SPLINTING
The Rehabilitation Collective is able to offer neurological splinting for management of upper limb issues.
MEDICO-LEGAL REPORTING
Consideration can be given to the completion of Occupational Therapy Assessment for medico-legal purposes.
Please contact The Rehabilitation Collective if you would like to know more about any of the above services.
OUR VISION
The Rehabilitation Collective has been established to offer high quality, person-centred, goal directed and evidence-based therapy services to individuals with acquired brain injury including traumatic brain injury, hypoxic brain injury, stroke, subarachnoid haemorrhage, encephalitis/meningitis and other neurological conditions.
So why the “Collective”? The Collective acknowledges that building capacity and reaching one’s aspirational potential, whilst living with the lifelong effects of an acquired brain injury or neurological condition requires the collective drive of the individual, their family and friendship support networks, support providers and their therapy team.
The Rehabilitation Collective is driven by the understanding that if provided with the right opportunity and the right support, at the right time, people living with an acquired brain injury or neurological condition can continue to strive towards their aspirations.
