During Brain Injury Awareness Week (August 13th - 19th) Sports Medicine Australia, the leading Australian sports medicine and science body, is calling on all sporting clubs to ensure their concussion management practices are up to scratch.

It is vital all sporting clubs have personnel trained in the management of concussion and are aware of the symptoms of concussion - loss of consciousness, confusion, memory disturbance, blurred vision, dizziness, nausea and/or unsteadiness.
