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.

Cognitive fatigue is a troubling long-term symptom following traumatic brain injury (TBI), impacting participation and quality of life. A user-design feasibility study was completed, using a sample of clinicians and individuals with lived experience of TBI to design and test a Virtual Reality rehabilitation solution alongside engineers, researchers and designers. This novel and motivating system may provide advantages over traditional TBI rehabilitation approaches.
Co-Authors: Marcus King (Callaghan Innovation), Jo Nunnerley (Burwood Academy of Independent Living), Riley Stockwell (Cerebral Fix) and Nadia Thorne (Cerebral Fix).
