Brett Lee, winner of the prestigious Allan Border Medal was the first to trial the new Gait Centre facility at the Royal Rehabilitation Centre, following the official opening by the President of the Primary Club of Australia, Mr Bruce Collins QC.
The Primary Club Gait Centre was opened on Thursday 13th March at the Royal Rehabilitation Centre Sydney.
The Primary Club of Australia selected the Royal Rehabilitation Centre Sydney for this project, donating $300,000 to establish the Primary Club Gait Centre.
Primary Club President Bruce Collins QC said “this project is very important to the aims of the Primary Club because it has the potential to give those with disabilities the opportunity to experience the joy and exhilaration that physical activity of any kind brings.”

The Primary Club of Australia Gait Centre at the Royal Rehabilitation Centre will utilise state-of-the-art technology that will allow the three dimensional assessment of gait and mobility in adults and children with incomplete spinal cord injuries, brain injury, stroke, severe musculoskeletal injuries, spina bifida, cerebral palsy and other conditions. The new Primary Club Gait Centre will provide better insight into rehabilitation for these clients.
Royal Rehabilitation Centre Chairman Clive Austin said “This is the first of many steps for our organisation to implement the latest technology to benefit our clients and many others through research. This would not have been possible without the incredible support of the Primary Club of Australia.”
The Primary Club of Australia Inc is a registered charity founded in 1974 by a group of cricket lovers to enrich the lives of people with disabilities through sport and recreation.
