Where health meets disability: rehabilitation as key component of a lifetime care approach

Panel discussion with Janet Wagland, Brightwater Care Group WA; Jennifer Cullen, Brain Injury Association Queensland; Andrew Macready-Bryan, James Macready-Bryan Foundation.
Facilitator: Julie McCrossin
The goal COAG set for itself in the YPIRAC initiative is not one dimensional. The response required is broad and must include rehabilitation for recovery from injury and also for management of health issues over the life course.  These speakers have had extensive experience in developing a rehabilitative approach that addresses these issues for young people with ABI, those from indigenous communities and also the crucial transition from acute care to the community.  As service providers, Janet Wagland and Jennifer Cullen will speak about the different services their organisations have developed to respond to these needs.  Andrew Macready Bryan has lived the non compensable journey and has attempted to buy the services his son has needed.  Andrew will talk about the fact that money alone cannot deliver what is required and that systemic and policy change is crucial if we are to go forward.

Shaping the Future: Panel discussion with Julie McCrossin

Jackie McRae, family member; Janet Wagland, Brightwater Care Group; Joan Hughes Carers Australia; Jason Anderson; George Taleoporos, Coordinator, Youth Disability Advocacy Service; Bernice Daher, Spinal Cord Injuries Australia; Francene McCartin, my future my choice; Chris Cuff, Cuff and Associates (Actuaries); Karla Edridge, family member; Maree Dyson, Dyson Consulting Group; Bronwyn Morkham YPINH Alliance. 

The COAG initiative was always conceived as a first step and mid way through the initiative’s ‘first phase’ we are now in a position to better know what young people with high and complex support needs require to have ‘lives worth living’ in the community.  But can the service system respond?

This panel discussion brings together professionals and individuals with first hand experience of the crisis we face in service delivery in health, disability and aged care and the implications this has for us all.  The panel will share their views on what is needed if Australians are to have a life time care and support system that can respond in a timely and effective manner and how this can be achieved.

Service System Improvements: 3 Streams

1. Service Innovations:
Chair: Phillip Beddall
This session ranges over a number of topics relevant to the YPIRAC initiative. People with different disability types need specific and targeted approaches, and even within these groups individual and local solutions are required. These presentations talk about approaches for people with ABI and neurological conditions, and service development more generally, including linking health and disability services.

Presenters:
- The Property Group: Di Winkler, Summer Foundation and MIRVAC;
- Continuous Care Pilot: Deb Farrell, Ngaire Trainor, MS Society;
- Life after injury…rehab and recovery Bronwyn Harding, Slow To Recover Program, 

2. Lifetime Care and Alternative Funding Solutions
Chair: Alan Blackwood
The imperative for the YPIRAC initiative is to manage the needs of the target group for a lifetime. The need for lifetime planning was highlighted in the recent Senate Inquiry into the CSTDA. This session will explore what Lifetime Support is, or can be, how it can work and how it needs to be funded.

Presenters: 
- Maree Dyson, Consultant, NZ ACC; 
- Chris Cuff, Cuff and Associates, Actuarial Consultants 

3. Family Voices
Chair: Carol Franklin
This session ranges over a number of topics relevant to the YPRAC initiative from a consumer and family perspective.

Each presentation takes a different tack in showing the need to involve families in service design and to support them effectively.

Presenters: 
- Belinda Epstein Frisch, Lara Friedman, Family Advocacy
- Greta Parker, Brainlink
