CHS Confirmation Seminar 07-May-09: Rights, Compensation and the experience of receiving support services in Victoria

1pm
Room 410, Level 4, 207 Bouverie Street, Carlton

Presented by Raelene West

This qualitative PhD study explores the experiences of adults who have acquired a permanent impairment of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) receiving support services in Victoria, with particular emphasis on the experiences and understandings of associated compensatory processes and rights.
The study explores both the support and impact of the complex matrix of funding arrangements associated with the receipt of support services that has emerged across the state since the mid 1980s, most notably in relation to the establishment of community-based models of support for people with impairment following deinstitutionalisation.
