Our NIISQ Agency team was invited to present to the Appian World 2023 conference in May.

Earlier this year, we held our inaugural Participant Consultation Group, which is part of our work to co-design NIISQ services and products with participants to create resources that are fit-for-purpose.

Here at the NIISQ Agency, we are focused on supporting our participants who have been seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident in Queensland.

Motorbikes represent less than 5% of vehicles registered in Queensland but account for approximately 20% of participants entering our National Injury Insurance Scheme, Queensland (NIISQ) each year. This is not unique to Queensland, with other motor vehicle lifetime care schemes reporting an over-representation of motorbike riders and pillion passengers.

We would like to ask for your help in supporting our research friends at the University of Sydney, who are currently undertaking an important project called BRIDGES.  

This project aims to understand the types of physical activities that people living with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) would like to do in their communities.

Wishing a very big congratulations to 11-year-old NIISQ participant Jaxon!

Jaxon was recently featured by the Queensland Paediatric Rehabilitation Service for his achievements in track and field and we wanted to continue sharing his journey and news.
