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.

“Supporting people with incontinence after stroke to live a good life”
Incontinence following stroke reduces a person’s ability to participate within their families, homes and communities – and contributes to higher rates of depression and social isolation. Jean and Rachelle will [interactively] share how this realist-informed literature review and participatory research sets the foundation for intervention development, supporting stroke survivors to manage their continence so they can return to participating in personally meaningful activities and life roles. A better understanding the contexts of people with incontinence after stroke has allowed us to plan for future phases of intervention development more effectively.
We would love to share what we have found with you – whether you are a health care professional working with people who experience incontinence, a person with lived experience, or someone interested in the methods we have used in this study. And we would love to hear your ideas and thoughts ….
