Our research aims to understand how traumatic brain injury affects mental health, brain functioning, and brain health across the lifecourse.

We are especially interested in understanding how this affects people from vulnerable groups, such as children and adolescents, elderly people, survivors of domestic violence or abuse, Indigenous and First Nations communities, and those living in rural and remote areas. We work closely with health services and professional organisations.
