Connecters Australia was founded by Kayleen Doyle 3 years after her husband Chris was diagnosed with CTE. After experiencing the life changing health care and support from Dr Rowena Mobbs she decided to put her 20+ years not for profit and charity management experience to good use and Connecters Australia was born.
The journey began with Connecters Australia becoming an early partner in Concussion Connect, an innovative support group developed by Dr Mobbs for persons with CTE and their carers. Dr Mobbs also joined Connecters Australia as our Chief Medical Officer providing education and health information to our organisation and consumers. It has been a busy 2 years establishing the organisation.
Kayleen and Chris created an organisation which will continue to grow thanks to the hard work of Kayleen. Due to their lived experience, hard work, and knowledge and understanding of CTE, Kayleen and Chris remain involved in the CTE community as our Champion Founders.
