About the Traumatic Brain Injury Mission
The Traumatic Brain Injury Mission is investing $50 million to improve the lives of patients with traumatic brain injury.
This Mission supports research to improve patient recovery after brain injury. This includes projects that predict recovery outcomes or identify effective care and treatments, to reduce barriers to living the best quality of life after a traumatic brain injury.
Why it is 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.
Objectives
The objectives of this Mission are to:
- better predict recovery outcomes after a traumatic brain injury
- identify the most effective care and treatments
- reduce barriers to support people to live their best life after a traumatic brain injury.
Meeting our objectives
The Traumatic Brain Injury Mission Expert Advisory Panel will revise the existing Roadmap and Implementation Plan to advise the Minister for Health and Aged Care on the strategic priorities for research investment through the Mission.
The draft Roadmap and Implementation Plan will be reviewed by an international panel of experts and undergo a national consultation to seek community feedback on these documents.
