Traumatic Brain Injury Mission
The Traumatic Brain Injury Mission will invest $50 million over 10 years to improve patient recovery after brain injury. It will support projects that predict recovery outcomes, or identify the most effective care and treatments.
What is the Traumatic Brain Injury Mission?
The Traumatic Brain Injury Mission is a research funding program that will invest $50 million over 10 years from 2019–20 to improve the lives of patients with traumatic brain injury.
Why is the Traumatic Brain Injury Mission important?
Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of disability and death in Australia. Common causes are falls, car accidents and assault. These injuries can lead to complex, long-term problems affecting patients’ personalities, relationships and independence.

The Traumatic Brain Injury Mission will seek to:
- better predict recovery outcomes after a traumatic brain injury
- identify the most effective care and treatments
