We Share

Ensuring that resources, information, and opportunities are distributed fairly among all individuals.

We provide educational excellence to researchers, clinicians, students, and people with disabilities, bridging gaps and reducing disparities through shared resources.

The Alan Clarke Memorial Lecture

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.

Study Opportunities

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.

Learn More About Becoming a Burwood Academy Scholar

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.

Resources

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.
