CP-ACHIEVE is a five year, NHMRC funded Centre of Research Excellence project that supports collaborative research and development in cerebral palsy research. The team consists of a multidisciplinary group of adolescents and young adults with cerebral palsy, families, clinicians, researchers and students that are all working together to fulfil CP-Achieve’s aims. CP-Achieve commenced in February 2020 and will finish in 2025. What does CP-Achieve do? CP-ACHIEVE fosters health care access and promotes healthy lifestyle interventions to improve community participation. Two overarching aims guide the research program: to improve physical and mental health, and to build supportive family, community and health service environments. The outcomes of CP-Achieve are to establish rigorous population-based data about the scope of health and participation problems, best practices and guidelines for health and disability service providers, means to empower adolescents and young adults with cerebral palsy to use health and community services, and models of cost-effectiveness to inform policy and practice, and drive value-enhanced care.
