It is therefore essential that research be undertaken which aims at understanding and developing new and better treatments, thereby reducing costs to the community.
Those costs are enormous, with road accidents (the major cause of head injury) alone costing the community more that $3,000 million each year.
With on-going support from the community, the Neurosurgical Research Foundation's Council has been astute and careful with its finances since 1963. The Foundation ensures that your gifts will be securely managed.
The Neurosurgical Research Foundation Inc. was formed in 1963 and was the first of its kind in Australia. By providing funding for research, the Foundation aims to promote a greater understanding of the brain, spin and nervous system, their diseases and effects on them of injury, so that best possible treatment can be given.
In 1992, The Neurosurgical Research Foundation established Australia's first Chair of Neurosurgical Research at the University of Adelaide. The aim is now to secure funding of the Chair in perpetuity. In order to achieve this objective a further $900,000 in needed. The Gwendolyn Michell Chair of Neurosurgical Research is now credited with worldwide recognition for research and educational achievements.
