A new chapter began at Weemala when it was renamed Royal Rehabilitation Centre Sydney to reflect the increased focus on rehabilitation and enabling people with disabilities to return to their communities and workplaces. Senior specialist in rehabilitation medicine Dr Robert ‘Bob’ Oakeshott AM established the Royal Rehabilitation College and successfully made Weemala a postgraduate medical education hub.
Royal Rehab LifeWorks Ryde: Empowering Lives
Motorised wheelchairs appeared at Weemala and Coorabel for the first time, giving people a renewed sense of independence. The Federal Government re-established a national healthcare system, Medibank with relatively generous hospital cost sharing arrangements and free public access to hospital care.
In-Voc was founded as a specialist vocational rehabilitation service to help people with a spinal cord injury explore work, study and volunteering. The National Disability Insurance Scheme was launched by the Federal Government. Royal Rehab acquired Breakthru disability services, expanding opportunities and holistic supports for clients throughout NSW.
