This study has elucidated some key processes that occurred and were necessary to carry out goal setting. A mind-shift towards holistic, participation-focussed goal setting was described as "unlearning" discipline-specific goal setting. Development and ownership by the team, acceptance of team members and willingness to share, and structured processes and resources were necessary.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONNormalising interdisciplinary role-based goal setting in multi-professional teams requires a mind-shift away from traditional, discipline-specific goal setting.Implementation of interdisciplinary, collaborative team goal setting within health service settings requires collective actions including collaborative working by team members, structured processes including organised time for collaborative team and family meetings, practical resources and training to support processes.Clinicians perceived the goal setting approach to put the person at the centre resulting in a deep understanding of the person, shared understanding, and motivation for rehabilitation.
