Established in 1998, the Brain Injury Association of Tasmania (BIAT) provides a public voice for all Tasmanians impacted by brain injury. It is a non-government, state-wide, not-for-profit organisation, recognised as having specialist knowledge of brain injury and its effects on individuals, families and communities.

BIAT has, for the past 23 years, had a remit to monitor and support the long term needs of people living with or affected by acquired brain injury (ABI). It achieved this by raising community awareness of brain injury; providing education, information and referral to people with brain injury, their families and carers; training organisations and individuals on brain injury and its impacts; and through systemic advocacy.

Due to NDIS related funding changes, the work of the Association now mainly consists of delivering time-limited Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) projects that focus on specific activities (for information on these project please visit www.biat.org.au). Upon application BIAT receives funding through the Motor Accident Insurance Board (MAIB) Injury Prevention and Management Foundation (IPMF) for activities that contribute to a community that is more informed about brain injury.
