Brain Injury Australia Limited represents all Australians with acquired brain injury (ABI) whatever the cause. BIA was formed at the first national community-based conference on ABI in 1986. The Federal Government began funding BIA in 1991.

Brain Injury Australia's role includes:

• Advocacy for government program allocations and policies that reflect the needs and priorities of people with an ABI and their families;
• Provision of effective and timely input into policy, legislation and program development through active contact with Federal Government ministers, parliamentary representatives, Federal Government departments and agencies, and national disability organisations;
• Initiation and coordination of national projects;
• Increasing national public awareness of ABI through the implementation of public information programs;
• Monitoring Federal Government consumer consultation processes to ensure that these are of a quality that is meaningful and inclusive of people with ABI and their families; and
• Developing a range of strategic alliances that support and enhance the achievement of BIA’s strategic objectives.
