Call for Presentation Proposals
National Brain Injury Conference
We would like to share with you Brain Injury Australia's call for abstracts. People with a brain injury, their family members, researchers, clinicians, allied health professionals, service providers and policymakers are invited to submit a presentation proposal for the 7th National Brain Injury Conference which will be held in partnership with the Melbourne Disability Institute 28-29 October 2019.
Brain Injury Australia’s Conference has become one of the premier learning and development events on the disability calendar – driving improvements in services and supports for the over 700,000 Australians living with a brain injury, their families and carers.
Proposals
The Conference will have varied presentations including panels and single speaker sessions. Your proposal can be: an oral presentation; a “snapshot” (a 10-15 minute overview of a under acknowledged topic, or a research finding, in brain injury); the “Consumer Opening Address” to the Conference (by someone with lived experience of the disability); or a topic for a panel discussion.
The Conference organisers would especially welcome proposals in the following subject areas:
- The lived experience of brain injury – consumers, significant others, family members;
- Innovations in evidence-based approaches to the treatment, rehabilitation and overall care of people with a brain injury;
- The National Disability Insurance Scheme;
- Mild traumatic brain injury/ post-concussion syndrome;
- Peer supports, mentoring of people with a brain injury;
- Brain injury in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities;
- Management of “challenging behaviours”;
- Domestic and family violence and brain injury;
- Alcohol and other drug-related brain injury; and
- Brain injury in the military; and
- The prevention of brain injury
