ADF rehabilitation program – outcomes and experiences

The Australian Defence Force Rehabilitation Program (ADFRP) is much more than clinical treatment or health care of military personnel. It is an holistic assessment and management system that combines the elements of health care, occupational health and safety, and personnel capability management.

Through effective rehabilitation the ADF maximizes the personnel dimension of capability with the intent to return an injured or ill member to maximum effectiveness within the ADF environment, or if this is not possible, the civilian environment.

The new program was implemented across Australia between June and September of 2006. Since implementation we have received more than 5000 referrals to the ADF Rehabilitation Program.
