Living with an acquired brain injury comes with challenges that aren’t always visible, and the people who understand those challenges best are those who live them every day.
Researchers at Griffith University are developing a new app designed to better support people with acquired brain injury.
By sharing your experiences and feedback, you’ll be helping shape a tool that has the potential to make everyday life more accessible, connected and supported for others in the ABI community.
If you’ve had an acquired brain injury within the last 10 years, or you’re a family member or support person, we’d encourage you to consider getting involved.

Today, Monday 27 July 2.00pm!
The Australian Government is launching AusAlert - a new national warning system that will send emergency messages to compatible mobile devices. It’s a fast, reliable way to help keep you informed during disasters like floods, cyclones and bushfires.

Before the official launch in October 2026, a national test will be held.

When: Monday 27 July, 2pm
(AEST)
What will happen: Mobile devices across Australia such as phones, tablets and smart watches, may receive a test alert.
What to expect: The message will vibrate and include a loud, siren-like sound that lasts about 10 seconds - even if your phone is on “do not disturb” or “silent”.

If this could cause you or a loved one to feel unsafe, please turn off vour mobile devices or switch them to aeroplane mode before the scheduled test time in your location and leave them off for at least one hour.

As this is just a test, you don’t need to do anything. But in an actual emergency you should follow the alert instructions to help keep you safe.
