Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific is proud be the Principal Partner of Brainwave Australia since 2012, Australia’s only national charity that supports children suffering from neurological illnesses and brain injuries, as well as their families. Every day in Australia, ten children are diagnosed with life-altering neurological conditions or acquired brain injuries. Since its inception in 1994, Brainwave Australia has assisted over 800 children each year through its care programs and empowered families in the day-to-day care of their child.

Mercedes-Benz supports Brainwave via various initiatives and our team members regularly volunteer their time at Brainwave Australia events.

Brainwave Bikes

In 2022, Brainwave Australia launched Brainwave Bikes, a social enterprise that operates a sustainable circular economy for recycled bikes, providing affordable quality bikes for families, diverting waste from landfill and valuable work experience for young people with disabilities. 

Through the Mercedes-Benz retail network, we have established drop off and collection points across Victoria where customers and residents are able to donate their unwanted bikes to be refurbished for a new life.

Find out how the country’s largest bicycle recycler, Brainwave Bikes, is giving bikes a second chance, and helping communities along the way.
