The final publication from the "Developing an evidence-based framework for vocational rehabilitation in early transitional brain injury service" project - A Framework to Support Early Team-Based Provision of Vocational Rehabilitation for Adults with Acquired Brain Injury - is now available.

The study developed an evidence-based framework for ABI VR which details the key service delivery features, activities and components of ABI VR. It supports ABI rehabilitation clinicians to deliver VR as part of clinical practice, and better address client return-to-work goals.

The framework was developed for early community ABI rehab in Queensland using local and international evidence. It should translate to other services and settings and also support future client outcomes.
