In Australia, access to free public, comprehensive healthcare and rehabilitation is normal. In many other countries this is not the case, such as Fiji. We are a group of Melbourne based rehabilitation health professionals that have enjoyed the privilege of being able to help others through our work. We formed Coral Coast Rehabilitation (CCR) so we can now make a difference and help people living in Fiji who would otherwise receive none or very limited rehabilitation opportunities. This project uses a ground up approach to insure our programs are custom designed to fit the local culture and community. To help this happen we work closely with the local community, local health professionals, and Government to create the best opportunities for now and the future. With your support you can help us provide and teach rehabilitation skills now and for generations to come in the Coral Coast region of Fiji.

We are a small team of volunteers hoping to make a difference. This years project has 3 elements:

  • Complete focused assessments and therapy for the villages in Korolevu-i-wai district of the Coral Coast
  • Complete assessments and introduce therapy plans to the local Sigatoka Special School
  • Provide education on rehabilitation planning and techniques to the local healthcare professionals at the Sigatoka Hospital
