The Burwood Academy 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.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is common among people with Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (TSCI), but rates vary across studies associated with different approaches to TBI diagnosis.
In this presentation, Debbie will present the findings from a population-based perspective cohort study reviewing rates of co-occuring TBI among people with TSCI.
She will also seek consultation on moving forward into phase 2 which explores how best to capture a co-occuring TBI in NZ spinal rehabilitation centres and to better understand the impacts of the TBI on outcomes.

Disabled People’s Wellbeing 10 Years Post-earthquake Research
Everyone is affected after a disaster. But some people are affected worse than others. Nearly one in 5 people in Christchurch self-report that they have some current physical or psychological disability. And disabled people are known to be more vulnerable following disaster and experience many barriers regarding community access, housing, assistance, and social connection in a disaster’s aftermath.
Hā-i-mano
Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori is the perfect opportunity to share a video where Te Ao Marama (Burwood Academy’s Māori Advisor) explains the significance of Hā-i-Mano.
Peer Group 15 July 2021: Rachelle Martin
Dr Rachelle Martin is one of nine recipients of this year’s Emerging Researcher First Grant offered by the Health Research Council (HRC).
Rachelle presented an overview how this research, partnering with tāngata whaikaha Māori and non-Māori, aims to co-produce policy advice around kāinga (housing and home) while also developing co-production methods and tools that can be used in other policy planning spaces impacting on disabled people.
