The NSW Brain Injury Rehabilitation Program (BIRP) is one of many programs managed by the Greater Metropolitan Clinical Taskforce (GMCT). BIRP supports clinicians working with patients suffering brain injury, to develop best practice guidelines for treatment, to review and analyse statistics and provide direction for brain injury education, research and prevention programs.

Highly specialised adult in-patient care is provided at the following major centres:

  • Royal Rehabilitation Centre
  • Westmead Hospital
  • Liverpool Hospital

Paediatric in-patient Services are provided at:

  • Westmead Children's Hospital - Westmead
  • Sydney Children's hospital - Randwick
  • It is acknowledged that though the Kaleidoscope Children's Hospital is not a part of the original BIRP agreement, it provides valuable brain injury rehabilitation services to the children's population in Hunter.
