New partnership to offer Australian-first brain health assessments for veterans with traumatic brain injury

The University of Wollongong (UOW) has partnered with Aeternal Group to launch an Australian-first program, the Veteran Brain Health Intensive (VBHI), aimed at assessing veterans with symptoms of traumatic brain injury linked to blast exposure. This program provides integrated assessments from neurologists, neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, and allied health clinicians over five days, offering a comprehensive report to inform treatment planning. The initiative seeks to address the fragmented care and diagnostic uncertainty often experienced by veterans.
