Abstract

There have been various factors and events that have contributed to the development of the rehabilitation field in Australia. This paper particularly examines the social, economical and political influences, which have made significant impact on the field. Having established the historical basis of rehabilitation, this paper examines the current changes that are happening in the field and make some suggestions for future developments in both the field and in the profession of rehabilitation counselling.
