Scientific Advisory Committee

The VNI Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) is comprised of Victorian and Australian experts in neurotrauma and the broader neurosciences. The SAC acts as a bridge between the VNI and the scientific community.  The SAC also provides the VNI with access to local, national and international expertise in neurotrauma.

The SAC is a key group involved in establishing the strategic direction and vision for the VNI, particularly in the promotion of a broad spectrum of research across neurotrauma.  Members of the SAC have substantial research track records within their area of expertise, and represent a broad spectrum of the Traumatic Brain Injury and Spinal Cord Injury research community.
