FOUNDER
Max Gow
I am the founder of Brothers Support Network. I am driven by living life with passion and purpose regardless of any challenges and obstacles that are put in our way.
After leaving school I began my journey as a support worker whilst working part time as a coach with QLD rugby, coaching kids of all ages and studying to gain my Personal Training certification.
In 2020, after being injured playing rugby, I ended up having to take a year out of sport following shoulder surgery. During this time support work became my primary focus. I realised very quickly that many of the clients I worked with needed what I had taken for granted for many years. Healthy routines and habits, a positive mindset and most of all a friend, a good mate, a big brother. I realised the importance of feeling part of something and the importance of having mentors and role models to lean on. It was these insights that led me to create Brothers Support Network and fulfil my dream to create a community built around these ideals.
Brothers is not your average care service, we have put together a select team of support workers that live and work by my values and ideals, and I believe our team at Brothers can make a difference and change people’s lives for the better despite them having what may be considered a disability.
TEAM LEADER
Alex
I have only just begun my journey as a disability support worker 9 months ago, and haven't looked back since.
I'm passionate about helping people reach their goals and providing a fun environment in which they can express themselves.
Over the past 5 years previous to support work I have been traveling Europe playing rugby where I have made life long friends and gained great life experiences.
When I'm not at work you'll find me hanging out with my brother, on the rugby pitch or chilling out at the beach!

I have been lucky enough to be a part of the Brothers team for the last few months and am enjoying all the fun experiences I’ve had.
I’m a sociable and outgoing guy who loves a wide range of activities such as footy, gaming, surfing and more. Although I try to keep active I spend a lot of my spare time doing relaxing activities like reading and catching up on movies and TV.
A passion of mine is travelling and site-seeing, whenever I get the chance to go see or do something new I’m onboard!
