Abstract
Australia s rapid growth and expansion have emphasized the medicosocial problems involving increasing numbers of aged and permanently disabled persons. Until recently the medical profession had not acknowledged the role that associated professional disciplines and paramedical services must play in developing rehabilitation programs. Physical medicine and occupational and physical therapy departments in hospitals are still in the embryonic stage. Effective rehabilitation programs can be established only through the leadership of the medical professions and the cooperation of voluntary and governmental services.
