Geoff Cook

Geoff Cook is an advocate for athlete safety and the father of Grant Cook, who tragically died after a rugby league match in 2016. Following his son's death, Geoff has been actively campaigning for legislative reforms to enhance concussion protocols in sports, highlighting the need for comprehensive protections for athletes against severe injuries. He has made submissions to the Australian Senate enquiry into concussion, proposing a 'HIT, STOP, SIT' policy to ensure that players suspected of having concussions are immediately removed from play until cleared by a medical professional.
