A new way to support carers.
Synapse is launching a new service in Western New South Wales to support family members and friends who are caring for a person with a brain injury, including stroke.
Synapse is excited to be seeking applications for this new role to be based in Dubbo and to service the surrounding region. The Family Liaison Officer (FLO) will provide family members with information about brain injury, support to navigate various systems and, most importantly, provide understanding and wisdom through their own lived experience.

Then you could be our new Family Liaison Officer!
If you have:

Then we want to talk to you!
