The Australian Approach to Acquired Brain Injury
Degeneffe, Charles Edmund
Rehabilitation Research, Policy, and Education, v36 n3 p178-196 2022
Purpose: The present article provides a narrative review of Australia's approach toward acquired brain injury (ABI) and proposes how Australia and the United States can collaborate to improve service delivery for persons with ABI and their families with epidemiology, healthcare, prevention, research, and training. Method: A narrative review of journal articles, government documents, and websites was completed to present a broad overview of Australia's approach toward meeting the needs of persons with ABI. Results: The narrative review and synthesis of publications were summarized into the following categories: a) overview of ABI in Australia, b) long-term care government programs, c) services and advocacy, d) research and training, and e) recommendations for Australian-U.S. collaborations. Conclusion: The current time presents an opportunity for Australia and the United States to collaboratively address areas of common ABI need by dialogue, collaboration, and academic engagement, which may lead to better outcomes for persons with ABI by the sharing of research findings, service approaches, advocacy efforts, and rehabilitation counselor training. Rehabilitation counselors in Australia and the United States should lead the process of collaboration and engagement around common areas of ABI need.
