Concussion in Sport

There is an elevated public awareness of sport-related concussion in the last few years and increased focus on the importance of diagnosing and managing the condition promptly, safely and appropriately. There has also been concern over the possible long-term consequences of recurrent concussion.
Sport administrators, medical practitioners, coaches, parents and athletes are seeking information regarding the timely recognition and appropriate management of sport-related concussion.
Funded by the Australian Government, this AIS/AMA Position Statement on Concussion in Sport brings together evidence-based information and presents it in a format that is appropriate for all stakeholders. The AIS and AMA seek to ensure that all members of the public have rapid access to information to increase their understanding of sport-related concussion and to assist in the delivery of best practice medical care.
