BIAW Light Ups 2025
To mark Brain Injury Awareness Week 2025, landmarks across Australia will be lighting up purple and gold, a powerful visual reminder that invisible disabilities deserve visible change.
From bridges to city halls, each light-up is a beacon of awareness, solidarity, and advocacy for the over 450,000 Australians living with a brain injury.
Why Purple and Gold?
Purple and gold were chosen as the official colors of Brain Injury Awareness Week to symbolise both the strength of those living with brain injury and the hope and visibility we are working to create.
Purple represents resilience, courage, and recognition of invisible disabilities. It reflects the emotional strength required to live with, and support those with, brain injury.
Gold symbolises hope, visibility, and the value of every person affected, illuminating the path toward change, support, and understanding.
Illuminating landmarks across Australia sparks discussions and raises awareness about brain injury. When more landmarks shine in purple and gold, it turns the invisible visible and educates the public.
