Research to Action Guides
These Research to Action Guides are developed across a range of topics which have been identified as priorities by the disability sector.
Each guide is developed by recognised academic subject matter experts, alongside ‘Communities of Practice’ made up of practitioners, people with disability and carers. This ensures the Guides are fit for the Australian disability context.
- A Guide to Good Group Homes
Explores what the research evidence tells us makes a difference in group homes, and to the lives of people who live in them. - A Sustainable Rural and Remote Workforce for Disability
Articulates the key components of rural and remote workforce development in Australia, as presented by the existing research evidence. - Accessible written information
For people and organisations that want to prepare written information in an accessible way, and in particular information for people with intellectual disability. - Communication First Principles

For disability practitioners, schools, employers and young people looking to make the transition from school to employment in Australia. - Working collaboratively at the interface of disability and health services
Assists health and disability practitioners to understand the issues related to working at the interface of their sectors, to support people with disability and achieve the best possible outcomes.
