Every year in Australia more than 3000 people are hospitalised after suffering concussion when playing sport.
According to Brain Injury Australia there are triple that number that don't seek medical attention and ten times that number who won't report a concussion or possibly don't even know they have one.
Speaking on ABC Western Plains Mornings as part of Brain Injury Awareness Week, concussion educator Dr Rob Reid said the main problem with concussion is that it often goes undetected.
