John Walsh Centre for Rehabilitation Research
The John Walsh Centre for Rehabilitation Research focuses on research and education in rehabilitation and injury-related disability.
Our centre is part of the University of Sydney and the Kolling Institute, and our team has broad experience across a range of disciplines.
Our primary goals are to:
- Generate new knowledge to improve health outcomes for people with injury related disability
- Promote links with the research community, partner organisations, patient advocacy groups and non-government organisations, to support the effective transfer of research outcomes into health policy
- Improve clinical care for people with injury-related disability and translate research outcomes into clinical practice.
The centre, which was formerly the Rehabilitation Studies Unit, receives major financial support from the NSW State Insurance Regulatory Authority and NSW icare Lifetime Care.
