The World Health Organisation鈥檚 (WHO) Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) framework promotes collaboration among community leaders, people with disability, their families, and other citizens to provide equal opportunities for all people in society. It has been utilised in Australia and internationally for social planning, social enterprises, and inclusive community development and is consistent with Australia鈥檚 National Disability Strategy 2010-2020. Managers and leaders in community health, aging and disability sectors require an understanding of human functioning and health and strategies for promoting community access and inclusion. Students will develop knowledge and practical skills in applying CBR strategies with individuals and communities. The course will address access and inclusion in a variety of contexts and consider the needs of different populations.

This course introduces the WHO International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) as a conceptual framework and practical resources for understanding and assessing functioning and health of individuals and populations. Students will apply knowledge of accessibility, universal design and assistive technology as CBR strategies to promote access and inclusion in contexts of cultural diversity. Students will demonstrate professional communication skills in advocating for inclusive development and discussing ethical considerations in complex human services systems.
Within a Person Environment Occupation (PEO) framework, this course introduces and applies the principles of community based rehabilitation in developed and developing communities. It will cover the usage of the International Classification of Function (ICF) to understand the social and cultural models of disability, as well as the World Health Organisation (WHO) needs assessment staircase in the 'Community-based Rehabilitation Indicators Manual' (2015).

1. Articulate and apply advanced knowledge of Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) concepts, techniques and tools in program design or evaluation.
2. Critically evaluate human functioning and the influence of personal and environmental factors on participation and health.
3. Independently identify design features in built and virtual environments and evaluate their impact on accessibility and inclusion for a range of individuals.
4. Critique the role of human services in inclusive development, and the cultural and ethical considerations arising in professional practice.
