Family violence (FV) is a serious issue in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders communities. The types of behaviours involved in FV includes physical, psychological, emotional, financial/economic, and elder abuse, and isolating behaviours. While acknowledging the observable physical harms that can be caused by FV (e.g., cuts, bruising, broken bones), there has been less work undertaken to understand the impacts of acquired brain injuries as a result of physical abuse, and to use this knowledge to inform prevention, early intervention, responses, and recovery and healing. Emerging research highlights a strong association between acquired brain injury and FV among those who experience and those who use FV (e.g., Brain Injury Australia, 2018). This research highlights that acquired brain injuries can have widespread consequences ranging from death, temporary or permanent disability, result in lost opportunities for economic and social participation, loss of independence, and impaired quality of life. It also highlights that acquired brain injuries contribute to and worsens the impacts and avoidable costs of FV for families and the wider community. This presentation will outline these profound impacts and the imperative to embed information through all levels of prevention, early intervention, response, and recovery and healing, about the presence of acquired brain injury among those who use FV, and the risk of acquired brain injuries among those who experience FV.
