Creating a brighter future for athletes, veterans and all affected by concussions and CTE
In Australia, there have been widespread and growing concerns about concussions suffered in contact sports, like Australian Football League, Rugby Union, Rugby League and Soccer (or football) and it is now time to expand the CLF mission down under. In 2022, we launched our efforts to and having been driving change in Australia and beyond. We’re accelerating the development of treatments for concussions and CTE through innovative research. We’re making sports safer by advocating for education, prevention and protocols. We’re supporting patients and families impacted by concussions and CTE and promoting positive brain health messaging.

Revolutionising global understanding through world-class research
The mission of the Concussion Legacy Foundation Global Brain Bank is to accelerate research by collaborating with leading scientists at brain banks around the globe to understand, prevent, treat, and eventually cure CTE and other consequences of sports-related brain trauma.
The Australian Sports Brain Bank and the CLF Global Brain Bank are revolutionising the world’s understanding of CTE.
By contributing to research on concussions and repetitive brain trauma, athletes can help make sports safer for future generations.
The Australian Veterans Brain Bank was officially launched in 2023 and is a tissue bank that is dedicated to research on disorders of the brain in Australian Defence Force Veterans.
Research is the key that will unlock our ability to treat and prevent the effects of brain trauma. Learn how you can make an impact through brain donation and clinical research opportunities.
Inspiring change through innovative education and advocacy
Our education and advocacy programs are changing the concussion culture, and laying the foundation for a world without CTE by protecting young athletes around the world.
A concussion can change a child’s life. CTE caused by repetitive head impacts can derail their future. If we Stop Hitting Kids in the Head, we can prevent both.
End CTE advocacy, including our CTE Prevention Protocol, can eradicate the only neurodegenerative disease that’s entirely preventable.
