Join us as we launch Brain Injury Awareness Week 2021!
Acquired brain injury (ABI) impacts 1 in 40 Australians. Learn more about this condition and celebrate the achievements of people with ABI and their families!
We have a fascinating and inspiring morning planned at Adelaide Oval, including two exceptional keynote speakers: Amber Halliday and Dr Gavin Williams.
Amber Halliday
Amber Halliday is a former world champion and Olympic rower who turned her talents to cycling, becoming national champion. She sustained a severe brain injury in a support race for the 2011 Tour Down Under, and will share insights from her recovery.
Dr Gavin Williams
Dr Gavin Williams is a Professor of Physiotherapy Rehabilitation, a position appointed between Epworth Healthcare and The University of Melbourne. He has worked in neurological rehabilitation for over 30 years and is a world-leader in treating mobility limitations following traumatic brain injury.
Hosted by ABC presenter Emma Rebellato, the event will also include:
> A panel discussion with people with lived experience of brain injury
> Announcement of Brain Injury SA’s Embrace Life After Brain Injury Award
Together we can build a world more understanding of brain injury!
We look forward to connecting with you on August 16!
