About kids Rehab

kids Rehab started the New Year with a new name: KIDS REHAB

kids Rehab is one of the largest paediatric rehabilitation units in Australia, caring for over 2300 children and young people in NSW who have a range of disabilities including Acquired Brain Injury, Cerebral Palsy, Spinal Cord Injury and Disease, Spina Bifida and Limb Deficiency.

kids Rehab supports and assists children and young people to reach their full potential in all areas of development. This involves assessment, recommendations for interventions that help to restore functions that are lost after trauma or disease, follow up review assessments and prevention strategies for problems that may occur.

Who We Are

kids Rehab is made up of these specialised services each providing inpatient, outpatient and outreach services.
