Research at Rocky Bay

Rocky Bay has been involved in disability research for many years. We conduct and support research projects which aims to improve the lives of people living with disability, their families and carers.

Rocky Bay’s involvement in research includes undertaking our own research, collaborating with research partners and supporting research undertaken by the broader sector. Each research project we are involved in aims to improve the ways in which people with disability are supported to lead enriched lives. It aims to provide a voice to people with a disability and their families through working together with them. Our research program informs our service model design and provision, as we continuously translate research into evidence-based practice.
