The Rehabilitation Research Centre is
one of three "Centres of Excellence" within
the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Sydney. In
March 1989, Cumberland College of Health Sciences established the
Rehabilitation Research Centre with the charter to raise research
productivity in the area of Rehabilitation. In 1994, the
Rehabilitation Research Centre became a key research centre of
the Faculty of Health Sciences reporting to the Dean of Faculty, and in 2002 the
Centre became part of the School of Exercise and Sport
Science.
Associate Professor Glen M Davis has been the Director of the
Rehabilitation Research Centre since 1995.
