For children under 8, please speak to someone directly

⚠ This tool isn't suitable for this age group

Symptom-rating questionnaires like SCAT6 aren't validated in children under 8. Young children often can't describe how they feel, and the important signs show up as changes in behaviour instead — unusual crying, not settling, going off their food, or not playing the way they normally do.

Please have your child seen in person — today — by your GP, a hospital emergency department, or our team. Watch them closely for the first 24 to 48 hours, including overnight.

      ⚠ Warning signs that need urgent care — call 000

      Neck pain or tenderness · severe or increasing headache · vomiting · seizure or convulsion · loss of consciousness · increasing drowsiness · weakness, numbness or tingling · double vision · slurred speech · increasing confusion or unusual behaviour · visible deformity of the skull.

      If any of these are happening, stop and call triple zero (000) now, or go straight to a hospital emergency department. Nearest to McCrae: Rosebud Hospital and Frankston Hospital.

      This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. It does not diagnose or rule out concussion. Only a qualified health practitioner can do that after assessing you in person. If you are worried at any point, seek medical care.
