Concussion and Return To Play
AFL, NRL, FIFA, NHF, FEI and the Australian Olympic team concussion policy requires that an athlete that is hit in the head during their sport is assessed at the time of the incident and 3 hours after the incident. It is then very important that the athlete seeks further assessment from their health professional 36-48 hours after the incident. We incorporate the SCAT5 (Sports Concussion Assessment Tool) into our assessment 48 hours after concussion. Depending on our findings we can then make a decision as to how long a player must abstain from certain activities in their return to play. Sometimes a mandatory period of rest may apply.
