The Burwood Academy of Independent Living (BAIL) is a dynamic organisation committed to delivering research excellence and outcomes that improve the lives of people living with disability.
Research that matters by people who care!
Research raises important questions and contributes solutions to large societal problems. We conduct consumer-based disability and rehabilitation research, focusing on translating the findings into actions and outcomes that really matter.
Our research framework consists of four key elements:
Our engagement with people with lived experience is underpinned by the following:
We deliver educational excellence to researchers, clinicians, tertiary students and people who are living with disability.
The BAIL Scholarship provides opportunity for Masters and PhD students to gain competence in Independent Living (IL).
Our regular presentations offer a wide range of opportunities to further develop knowledge and understanding of Independent Living (IL) and connect with others in the sector.
We apply a culture of knowledge translation research across all that we do.
This spectrum of activities which moves research from the laboratory, the research journal, and the academic conference into the hands of people and organisations who can put it to practical use will help to close the current 18 year gap between research findings becoming common practice.

“Theory building in qualitative research”
Many interpretivist research methods begin with a stage of initial coding of data – the identification of concept, ideas, themes, and categories of information in qualitative data. This presentation focuses on what happens next: How you get from initial data coding to a substantive theory (i.e. the ‘results’ of your research). Although this presentation will have a primary focus on grounded theory methods, the techniques discussed will be relevant to other interpretivist methods such as phenomenology, ethnographic, and narrative methods. Suitable for Master and PhD students, people new to qualitative research, and anyone else interested in discussing theorisation in qualitative research.

“Making use of Cochrane evidence”
The rehabilitation community is a major stakeholder in the work of Cochrane (formerly the Cochrane Collaboration). One in every 11 reviews and protocols published by Cochrane are on interventions provided by rehabilitation professionals. In 2016, Cochrane Rehabilitation was founded as a Field to act as a bridge between Cochrane and the health-related rehabilitation community worldwide. In part, this work has involved creating resources for rehabilitation providers, policy makers, and service users to help them to make use of evidence within the Cochrane Library relevant to their work and lives. This presentation is designed for health professional to learn more about how to read and apply knowledge from systematic reviews, with a particular view on how to read Cochrane reviews on rehabilitation topics. Suitable for doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, and anyone else interested make more use of a free resource that support evidence-based practice.
