A Message from our CEO | Celebrating 20 Years of Impact, Support and Care 

September 28, 2026

Twenty years ago, I had the privilege of standing alongside the founding members as BrainLink Services Limited was launched, building on the strong foundations of the former Brain Foundation Victoria.

Looking back, it is incredible to see how far we have come. What began as a shared commitment to supporting people affected by brain injury has grown into a valued service reaching individuals, families and carers across the community.

I feel fortunate and proud to have been part of BrainLink's journey over the past two decades, working alongside dedicated staff, volunteers, members, supporters and partners who have all contributed to its growth. Together, we have seen challenges, celebrated achievements, and remained focused on supporting those whose lives have been affected by brain injury.

For two decades, BrainLink has been a trusted source of information, connection and hope, helping thousands of individuals and families navigate the often-complex journey of brain injury with dignity, resilience and confidence.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been part of the BrainLink journey over the past 20 years. To the individuals who have shared their stories, the families and carers who have shown extraordinary courage, the volunteers who have generously given their time, and the supporters, donors and partners who have stood beside us, your contribution has made a lasting difference. Together, you have helped build a community that understands, supports and advocates for people affected by brain injury.

Twenty years of making a difference. Twenty years of changing lives. Twenty years of building stronger futures.

While we celebrate the past 20 years, our greatest achievement is not how far we have come, but the lives we will continue to support and the difference we will make in the years ahead.
