About Brainwave Australia 

Brainwave was founded in 1994 to provide practical support and care to children impacted by neurological conditions and their families. Brain injury and illness change people’s lives and futures. We are here for the whole family from the point of diagnosis onwards. No matter where families are in Australia, we help support them by providing holistic support in times of crisis, ongoing access to information and resources, and build meaningful social connections with and between families.

About Brainwave Bikes

In partnership with our sponsors and Good Cycles, Brainwave is establishing a new social enterprise, Brainwave Bikes that, by receiving and selling donated used bicycles, will enable:

• Work experience and traineeships for people with neurological conditions, including those supported by Brainwave
• Recycling of bicycles with reduced land fill and greenhouse gas emissions, as an exemplar of the circular economy 
• Enhanced family mobility and health through affordable bicycles
• A growing additional source of income for Brainwave to fund its programs

The Role 

The Manager of Brainwave Bikes will lead the establishment and operation of the social enterprise, guided by the business plan and supported by a steering committee, to active the approved targets.
