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.

A cunning plan to facilitate funding of peer support services for people with newly acquired SCI in NZ: synthesising evidence, developing theory & evaluating effectiveness
BAIL is working with the NZ Spinal Trust and Spinal Support NZ (previously TASC) to build the evidence-base for peer support being offered to people who are in their first 6-months of rehabilitation following a spinal cord impairment. In this presentation we will overview the steps we have taken so far (literature review & theoretical development), and what we are currently up to (nation-wide evaluation study).
The process of rehabilitation and transition from hospital to home is difficult for people with newly acquired SCI. Peer support, provided by people who themselves live with the experience of SCI, aims to support people to maximise their function and independence following SCI, and to help them reintegrate into the community, returning to previously held life roles. However, sustainable-funding models are required to ensure that peer support can be provided to all, and in a way that is responsive to peoples individual needs and preferences. Hence the cunning plan ….
