Dr Rowena Mobbs MBBS BMedSci(Hons1) PhD FRACP is a visiting medical office and neurologist at Mater Hospital Sydney.

 

She is one of Australia's leading clinicians in concussion and dementia, speaking in 2024 at the National Press Club with Wally Lewis AM and Dementia Australia, and is highly committed to the integration of multidisciplinary chronic care and research translation within teaching and mentoring programs. More recently, she has worked with the Queensland Brain Institute, University of Queensland, the Brain Foundation, and ConneCTErs Australia.

 

She was the founder and director of the Australian CTE Biobank. She created an online education program called Concussion Big 5 for detecting the common neurological signs of concussion.

 

Dr Mobbs champions a patient-centred approach as well as community advocacy for those living with traumatic brain injury, and types of dementia, including Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). She is an invited speaker to medical and industry conferences, events and workshops.

 

Dr Mobbs sees patients with disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, Parkinson's disease, Lewy Body disease, and motor neurone disease, and the in-life equivalent to CTE, traumatic encephalopathy syndrome (TES).

Dr Mobbs is the Principal Neurologist at Harbour Neurology in North Sydney, leading a team of specialists for integrated neurological care.

 

Following her training at the Royal Adelaide Hospital she completed a Fellowship in cognitive and behavioural neurology, neurological sleep disorders, and movement disorders at the Brain and Mind Centre.

 

Dr Mobbs maintains a research interest into concussion and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, driven by a strong sporting experience having represented Australia in modern pentathlon and fencing, and state teams in hockey, triathlon and cross-country running. She completed a PhD on cell death in acute and chronic compressive myeloradiculopathy, and was twice awarded the Spine Society of Australia award for research.

 

Dr Mobbs' vision is for the expansion of collaborative and innovative neurological services in dementia, identified to be one of the National Health Priority Areas.
