Rehabilitation patients
Welcome to our State Rehabilitation Service. You are now entering the next phase of your journey – rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation is an active process by which you are helped to acquire knowledge and skills to maximise physical, psychological, emotional, social and vocational potential. This process aims to maintain your dignity, self-respect and a quality of life that is as satisfying as possible. The goals of rehabilitation are to optimise function, promote independence, and preserve self-esteem.
Complete recovery is not always possible. The focus of your goals is to help compensate for your alteration to function and aid in adjusting and accepting these changes. This then enables you to gain an optimal level of function for the future.
