Clinical Centre for Research Excellence in Aphasia Rehabilitation is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with aphasia and their families. The CCRE aims to:
- Support clinical research leading to improved health outcomes for Australians with acquired communication disability following stroke and traumatic brain injury.
- Foster training of clinical researchers leading to increased research capacity in aphasia and health services.
- Ensure effective translation of research evidence to practice.
The major outcome from research within the CCRE will be the development of the Australian Aphasia Clinical Pathway in close collaboration with speech pathologists and consumers. The Australian Aphasia Clinical Pathway will translate the emerging evidence into best practice across the entire continuum of health care (acute, rehabilitation, community), leading to better communication outcomes, less social isolation, and better quality of life for people with aphasia and their families.
