Education

Our goal is to educate the public, at the grassroots level, about all aspects of Concussion assessment and recovery.

Our SCC Blog

Check out our Sydney Concussion Centre Blog where we will be posting regularly with helpful tips and concussion research.

In an area of rapidly growing knowledge around Concussion, it can take a long time for information to filter down from academia to the general public. Sydney Concussion Centre is committed to facilitating this flow of information to grass roots level of the sporting and general public. Information will focus on the recovery process, from the on-field assessment to the return to normal activity. This includes all the proactive approaches that can be used to ‘speed up’ the recovery process.
