Published: 18 August 2025

Brain Injury Awareness Week encourages all Australians to learn more about how brain injury affects people.

Brain Injury Awareness Week is held from 18-24 August 2025. Brain injury affects one in 45 Australians.

People may act, feel and respond differently after a brain injury. They may need extra help with everyday activities.

They can choose someone to help them with Medicare, Centrelink or Child Support.

We have arrangements which suit different needs. Choosing the right type of support can make a big difference to someone’s experience with us.

If you care for or support someone with a brain injury, find out how you can become someone to act for them.
