The Brain Injury Rehabilitation Program (BIRP) was established
in 1990 as a joint initiative between the NSW Department of
Health and the Motor Accidents Authority as a specialist network
to provide services to people suffering from a Traumatic Brain
Injury and to fill the gaps left by general rehabilitation
services in care of people with Traumatic Brain Injury.
The Brain Injury Rehabilitation Program is aimed to lead
and coordinate:
- Development and maintenance of a network of services
based on a supra area/regional model
- Research into and evaluation of services and outcomes
for people with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
- Establishment of clinical services network promoting
seamless care and improving access to services for people
with TBI
- Development of improved treatment coordination resulting
in best practice care for patients receiving brain injury
rehabilitation
- Funding and coordination of public awareness and information
programs on brain injury
