Today at Royal Rehab Ryde, we were honoured to welcome Biayanskiy Oleg, Head of the Unbroken Rehabilitation Centre in Ukraine, and Tetiana Stawnychy, President of Caritas Ukraine.

Our guests toured our Technology Centre before sharing presentation on the vital work their teams are doing.

Unbroken is the largest rehabilitation hospital in Ukraine, providing multidisciplinary care to people affected by the war, including advanced programs in robotic prosthetics and rehabilitation innovation.

Caritas Ukraine’s humanitarian work across both urban and rural areas has been instrumental in rebuilding communities, from supporting the establishment of rehabilitation centres to providing immediate, on-the-ground assistance in the aftermath of mass crises.

We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to exchange knowledge and strengthen our shared commitment to restoring independence and hope through rehabilitation.

Royal Rehab on the World Stage at ACRM | American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine, Chicago

Our team including, Jason Redhead, Jessica Beauman, and Dr Julie Pryor presented “Therapy Goals in a Tech-Enabled Rehab”, sharing Royal Rehab’s journey and early insights.

Therapy goals have always been central to neurorehabilitation, but how do they evolve when cutting-edge technology becomes part of everyday practice?

Since 2020, Royal Rehab Group has been integrating advanced rehabilitation technology, with more than 27 systems now supporting clients across inpatient, outpatient, and community services.

Since 2022:
• 25 clinicians interviewed across 63 sessions
• 9,500+ tech-enabled therapy sessions analysed

Emerging trends:
• Shift from impairment-focused to functional, real-life participation goals
• More specific and personalised goal setting
• Increased client engagement and motivation

Rehab technology is enhancing therapy, unlocking more meaningful, individualised, and goal-driven rehabilitation.

We are proud to represent Australian innovation and leadership in neurorehabilitation on the global stage.

Celebrating International OT Day, 2025

At Royal Rehab Group, we don’t need a special day to see the impact our Occupational Therapists make - we see it every day. It’s in the way they find creative solutions to help someone get back to cooking a meal, return to work, or enjoy time with family again.

This year’s theme, “Occupational Therapy in Action,” says it all. It’s about the quiet determination, curiosity, and care that OTs bring to every interaction, helping people rebuild their confidence and independence in ways that really matter.

To all our OTs, thank you for the difference you make. You inspire us every day. 💚

Reflecting on National Carers Week

As National Carers Week comes to an end, we take time to celebrate and thank the more than 3 million Australians who provide care and support to a loved one.

This year’s theme, “You are, know or will be one,” reminds us that caring connects us all, whether now or in the future.

At Royal Rehab Ryde, our Social Work team marked the occasion with a Carers Wellness Week, featuring activities such as scenic walks, art therapy, meditation, mindfulness sessions, and massages. Each was an opportunity to pause, connect, and acknowledge the vital role carers play in our community.

To every carer, thank you. We see you. We appreciate you.

Exciting News

We’re proud to share that Spinal Cord Injuries Australia (SCIA) has officially joined Royal Rehab Group following a successful SCIA member vote!

This milestone brings together two organisations with deep roots and shared values:
🔹 SCIA – nationally recognised for lived-experience-led advocacy, peer support, and community connection.
🔹 Royal Rehab Group – trusted for more than 125 years as a leader in specialist rehabilitation, disability services, and clinical innovation.

Together, we’re building something bigger:
✨ Expanded services and greater access for people living with spinal cord injury, disability, and neurological conditions.
✨ Stronger advocacy that amplifies the voice of lived experience.
✨ More opportunities to innovate, collaborate, and create lasting impact.

SCIA will continue under its trusted name, delivering the same valued services, now strengthened by the support of Royal Rehab Group.

This partnership brings the best of both worlds: shared values, greater reach, and a stronger future for the communities we serve.

And this is just the beginning! We look forward to sharing more as we move forward together.

Our Story

Royal Rehab is led by an experienced and specialised team dedicated to maximising the life skills, abilities and independence of people living with a disability.

Founded in 1899 through a visionary act of philanthropy, Royal Rehab was formed to give hope, comfort and connection to hospital patients discharged as “incurable”, often with no family, money or ability to work.

Today, more than 100 years on, Royal Rehab continues to lead the way in clinical, research and teaching excellence and person-centred rehabilitation and disability support.

Royal Rehab’s innovative projects, programs and services employs a model of rehabilitation that takes recovery beyond the traditional clinical environment and integrates it with activities in everyday life to promote community participation and independence.
