1.4.1 Principles guiding rehabilitation under the MRCA

(Italics are quotes from the Act)

1. "The aim of rehabilitation is to maximise the potential to restore a person who has an impairment, or an incapacity for service or work, as a result of a service injury or disease to at least the same physical and psychological state, and at least the same social, vocational and educational status, as he or she had before the injury or disease."  source: section 38 of MRCA.

3.10 Plan Closure

​The Delegate may, in response to a client's written request, notice from a rehabilitation provider or based on information available to them determine that a rehabilitation program should cease. Examples of when this may occur include, but is not limited to when:

3.8.5 Progress Reports

 

A critical step in the case management for a client participating in a rehabilitation program is regular and timely reviewing and monitoring.  Regular progress reporting by the rehabilitation service provider for all VVRS, MRCA and DRCA clients is mandated.

The key tool for progress reporting is the Rehabilitation Progress Report which is DVA form D1330 and can be accessed through the DVA forms portal (this form applies for VVRS, MRCA and DRCA clients).

3.9 Case Conferencing

The practice of organising regular reviews with service providers is considered to be best practice in rehabilitation case management. This can provide opportunities for the Rehabilitation Coordinator, the service provider and when appropriate, the client, to jointly review and discuss the case in detail to keep matters progressing and resolve issues of concern.
