This scoping review examines how and when co‑design is used with adults with acquired neurological disability and their lived experience. It finds co‑design remains under‑researched and underutilised, yet is meaningful, supporting participation, connection, belonging and learning. Future work should better define co‑design and invest in facilitation roles.

This article describes the findings from 15 interviews on the lived experience of hospital discharge and returning to the community for people with acquired disability and complex needs in the Australian context. It identifies opportunities to co-design solutions that improve the experience of leaving hospital for this group.

This qualitative study aimed to better understand the experiences of National Disability Scheme (NDIS) participants with complex disability.
