Head injuries 2020-2021 | Dr Heather Swanston, Australian Institute of Health and Welfare
Every four minutes, someone in Australia is hospitalised for a head injury. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare’s report presents data on 2020–21 emergency department presentations, hospitalisations and deaths due to injuries to the head including injuries to the eye and orbit, traumatic brain injury and concussion.

Additionally, the report presents a ten-year time series to assess trends.
