Brain Injury Awareness Week Launch Event 2021: Watch Live Stream


Sunday, August 15, 2021 at 8:30 PM - 10:30 PM EDT

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!
