This report presents newly derived estimates of rates of hospitalisation associated with acquired brain injury, and the prevalence and demographic patterns of disability attributable to acquired brain injury in Australia. Definitions of acquired brain injury used in the disability and medical fields, and in legislative and administrative contexts are critically examined, and existing estimates of the incidence and prevalence of acquired brain injury, and of the proportion of incident cases that lead to long-term disability, are reviewed.
