Brain Injury Australia’s 2018 report on family violence and brain injury. Among the findings from this report are that of the 16,000 Victorians who attended hospital over a decade due to family violence, two in every five sustained a brain injury, nearly one in every three victims of family violence were children and, of those, one in every four sustained a brain injury. Completed in five months from July to December 2017, this research project identifies a strong association between brain injury and family violence, and significant gaps in service responses.
