Description
Michelle Fitts and Karen Soldatic study health care access for Indigenous women with brain injury in a 2026 paper. In Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women face linked risks of family violence, brain injury, and homelessness. How those forces shape care and recovery was poorly understood.
Interviews and focus groups gathered eighteen women with violence-related brain injury. Twenty-eight community members and ninety frontline workers added their views. Talk traced how losing housing disrupts treatment, follow-up, and long-term well-being. Service gaps appear where housing support and brain injury care fail to meet. The study aims to inform delivery that treats housing as part of health care for these women.
