Who Are We

About us

The Rehabilitation Specialists Institute is the education, advisory and capability-building arm of The Rehabilitation Specialists. We work across health, disability, rehabilitation, workplace safety, psychosocial risks, functional differences and participation.

We support individuals, employees, professionals, managers, HR and WHS teams, workplaces, government and other organisations. Sometimes people need education. At other times, they may need help applying it, working through a difficult situation or improving how work and systems are designed.
  • Live online education using practical examples and questions
  • Private, interactive training online or in person by arrangement
  • On-demand options available.
  • Practical tools and resources to use after learning
  • Advisory, supervision and tailored support when more depth is needed

Our vision

Our vision is to bring together knowledge shaped by years of clinical practice, rehabilitation, workplace health and safety, and lived experience, and share it far beyond the people and organisations we work with directly.

Through The Rehabilitation Specialists Institute, we want to connect expertise and different perspectives across Australia and around the world, influencing how people, workplaces and systems understand and support one another.

The aim is better decisions, more accessible services, improved participation and lasting change.

Meet the people behind the Institute

Our team and contributors bring experience from allied health, rehabilitation, Work Health and Safety, leadership and service design. That includes clinical and workplace expertise, and lived experience.  Different perspectives matter, especially when the problem does not sit neatly within one profession or system.
