The Alan Clarke Memorial Lecture (ACML) recognises the significant contributions that the founder of the Burwood Academy of Independent Living, Prof Alan Clarke made to medical and rehabilitation science and practice, and in particular, to the institutions of the University of Otago, and the Burwood Academy Trust.
We host regular events to support researchers, clinicians, students and people living with disability.

BAIL scholars are supported either financially, philosophically and/or pragmatically to enable them as a postgraduate student (in rehabilitation, disability studies or related field) with a passion for Independent Living (IL), to further develop research interests, career opportunities and leadership potential.
BAIL has developed a tertiary level course with the aim of helping students to develop awareness of issues affecting individuals as they seek more independence after serious injury/impairment. This course is currently being offered through Ara Institute of Canterbury.
One important outcome of our research and knowledge translation is the development of educational resources. BAIL is committed to continue to provide resources which support the Independent Living (IL) paradigm.
