CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) has been identified across all codes of football, and the rate in Australia is unknown. CTE is thought to potentially occur in not only contact sports but circumstances outside sport such as falls, blast trauma, building and construction, or domestic violence. CTE is a type of progressive dementia, leading to memory loss, impaired thinking ability, irritability, low mood, or anger.

MQ Health Concussion Service and the Concussion and Repetitive Head Trauma research group are assisting in ways to reduce concussion and the long term neurological effects of head trauma. We aim to promote brain health across the lifespan and to assist in monitoring those concerned about cognitive or psychological changes after head injury.

MQ Health and Macquarie University Hospital offer patient with repeated concussion a support service, involving specialist and expert support. Concussion is a common condition, and many in the community are worried about what this means for their long term wellbeing. The support group provides a safe forum for the discussion of symptoms related to concussion, including those with suspected CTE.
