Centre for Research into Disability and Society

The Centre for Research into Disability and Society strives to initiate and support research that has a positive impact on the lives of people with disabilities, their families and the community at large. The Centre aims to:

• Contribute to the creation of healthy, inclusive societies; and
• Find innovative solutions to real world problems.

The Centre does this through:

• Working and researching cooperatively with partners, in particular, people with disability and their families;
• Encouraging and supporting cross-sector and multi-disciplinary approaches to research and problem solving within the disability and rehabilitation sectors; and
• Recognition of our place in the Asia-Pacific rim with an emphasis on cultural understanding and diversity.
