The 150-bed Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre, located
at Northfield, is a campus of the Royal Adelaide
Hospital which provides clinical rehabilitation services
for people suffering from traumatic brain injury, stroke,
other neurological and medical disorders, spinal cord
injury, orthopaedic conditions and amputations.
It specialises in helping people to re-learn lost abilities
or find new ways of doing everyday activities to
maximise lifestyle through rehabilitation programs
based on an integrated team approach.
Community centres such as Kilburn Community Centre
(one of four Council-funded community centres in Port
Adelaide Enfield and located in the heart of Kilburn)
can on occasions, find themselves part of that team.
Kilburn Community Centre provides a focus for
local community groups and community gatherings.
It has developed strong support from multicultural
community organisations with many groups holding
regular activities, ranging from the African Community
Organisation of SA to Disability SA, Domiciliary Care
SA, the Baha’i Junior Youth Empowerment Program and
the Housing Plus Co-op.
“Community centres are the backbone of strong
and empowered communities,” said Port Adelaide
Enfield Director of Community Development, Louise
Miller Frost. “They act as a focal point around which
programs, opportunities and partnerships can grow and
volunteers and participants can learn and develop.
“Given Port Adelaide Enfield’s population growth with
new residential developments such as Westwood &
Lightsview, our community centres will face changing
community needs and expectations in the future.”
