Brain Injury Matters (BIM) is a self-advocacy and community education organisation run by and for people with acquired brain injury (ABI). Through peer support, leadership opportunities, and research, BIM empowers individuals to share their experiences, advocate for themselves, raise awareness, and reduce isolation. Lived experience drives everything BIM does, creating a more inclusive and understanding community for people with ABI.
Our Vision: People with acquired brain injury lead dignified and meaningful lives in an inclusive community
Our Mission: To support and empower people to advocate for themselves and enhance the lives of other people with acquired brain injury
For close to 30 years, Brain Injury Matters has been a voice for the 1 in 45 Victorians who live with brain injury. On top of working to improve community awareness, BIM delivers vital and impactful peer support groups in metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria, connecting over 200 people with ABI each week. Brain Injury Matters is a Registered Charity and DGR and their work in the community is life-changing and in some cases, life-saving for people living with brain injury.
