AUSTIN HEALTH - ABI Behaviour Consultancy
The ABI Behaviour Consultancy is a free, state-wide behaviour management service for people with acquired brain injury (ABI) due to trauma, stroke, substance use, infection, tumour or hypoxia. The service is staffed by clinical neuropsychologists and a consultant psychiatrist who can work directly with general practitioners, practice nurses and mental health nurses around assessment and management. Management strategies aim to reduce the impact of ABI-related behaviours such as verbal and physical aggression, sexual disinhibition and inactivity.
