A key feature of this site and the activities reflected is the establishment of benchmark data to maintain high standards of service throughout Australia whilst aiming for information and support to assist commonality and consistency across all States and Territories.
These pages are designed to provide information to the administrators of artificial limb services as well as health professionals and others associated with supporting Amputees.
 
Activities of this forum -
Please note:
These pages are a reflection of REHAB Tech activities as part of the Managers' forum and as such are for historical reference. At the cessation of Commonwealth funding in 2003 most States and Territories did not fund REHAB Tech to continue these activities. REHAB Tech's activities are now governed by direct contracted negotiation with various clients. For information regarding the Mangers' Forum and current activities, contact the relevant Manager in your State or Territory
