Today, July 22 is World Brain Day 🧠

Neuroplasticity is the brain’s capacity to rewire itself in response to what happens to it, and it is through neuroplasticity that people can make significant progress after acquiring a brain injury. At Brain Injury SA, we support our clients on their recovery journey after acquired brain injury, aiding in their care and empowering them to embrace life after brain injury.

Each year at our Brain Injury Awareness Week Event, we recognise and celebrate an individual with acquired brain injury who has achieved something remarkable in the past 12 months. Do you know someone who has embraced life after brain injury who deserves to be recognised? Nominate them to receive our 2025 Embrace Life After Brain Injury Award.

Services + Support for people with ABI in South Australia

Brain Injury SA is now recognised and funded as the peak body in South Australia for people with an acquired brain injury (ABI), and those who care for them. It is a member-based organisation, which engages with people with an ABI and their families, service providers, ABI specialists, and people and agencies that are interested in the impact of ABI in South Australia. Brain Injury SA is governed by a volunteer Board, comprised of people with a range of backgrounds and skills that are committed to BINSA’s aims and objectives. The Board is responsible for BINSA’s strategic directions and operational priorities. The day to day operational and financial management of Brain Injury SA is the responsibility of the Executive Officer, Liz Forsyth, supported by a team of highly qualified and experienced staff and the many wonderful volunteers who contribute to every area of Brain Injury SA’s operation and without whom Brain Injury SA would be unable to complete its valuable work.

Our ultimate goal is to help people embrace life after ABI.
