The CRE will drive dissemination and translation of its research outcomes into clinical practice and policy through publishing in high quality, peer-reviewed journals, engagement with relevant peak professional associations (e.g. Australian Physiotherapy Association, RACGP), delivery of professional development courses for graduate clinicians, and presenting outcomes at the annual CRE symposia and at other national and international conferences.
