This Request for Application (RFA) outlines the process to select one TBIRR provider who has or can establish a specialist Traumatic Brain Injury rehabilitation facility located in Christchurch, allowing Canterbury clients to stay in the region for their intensive rehabilitation instead of transferring to a TBIRR facility outside of Canterbury. Clients who live in the West Coast region of the South Island will also be eligible to access the TBIRR facility in Canterbury.

The TBIRR Service is comprised of three key components:
- Emerging Consciousness
- Residential Rehabilitation
- Day Rehabilitation

The Canterbury region has not had a TBIRR Service available since 2021. ACC is motivated to improve this situation for Clients that currently have to travel outside of Canterbury for specialist inpatient rehabilitation. If it can enhance your proposal, then we are interested to speak with you directly and explain the situation better. We are available from 6 October for conversations and/or questions. Contact us via GETS if you wish for a conversation.

Although this RFA closes on 30 October and we hope to make an appointment by early December of this year, we will keep this tender RFA open longer, if we cannot identify the right TBIRR Supplier within the identified timeframe.
