Abstract: Concussion in sport is today regarded as both a public health issue and high profile injury concern in many contact and collision sports. This paper undertakes a comparative review of the current policies and practices of two high profile national sporting organisations of such sports—the Australian Football League (AFL) and Hockey Canada (HC)—in governing the issue as a regulatory concern. By examining the policies and practices of the AFL and HC, this study aims to identify common themes, ergent practices, and nuanced sport-specific approaches to develop understandings on the regulation and governance of this high profile sports injury. The paper aims to contribute to understanding concussion as a regulatory concern, while at the same time recognising the heterogeneity of sport and reinforcing nuanced understandings that align to specific social and cultural settings. We make recommendations based on regulatory and cultural legitimacy. The paper concludes that these NSOs are institutional actors with historical and cultural roots who assert regulatory legitimacy by steering and influencing behaviour and directing the regulatory agenda to manage and mitigate the harm associated with concussion.

Abstract: The neurological sequelae of repetitive head impacts (RHIs) in Australian sport has come under intense public scrutiny. Class action litigation against the Australian Football League (AFL) is shaping up to be a ‘battle of the experts’ and could examine long term neurodegenerative disease. The Australian Parliamentary Inquiry into Concussions and Repeated Head Trauma in Contact Sports has conducted public hearings, due to report its recommendations in August 2023. As a high-profile public health concern, we strongly support a central role for the Australian Commonwealth Government to engage its agencies representing public health, sport and education towards a national approach.
