E sports
Getting involved in the growing pastime of E-sports has never been easier, with Invictus Australia developing partnerships around Australia and globally to provide competitions and leagues for military veterans and their families.
With the rapid growth of participation in computer games, gaming has become an organised, competitive and professional sport, known as ‘Esports’. The sport has the potential to empower individuals and build a sense of community that transcends gaming events.
Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned pro, Esports provides a great way to develop your skills while connecting with veterans and their family members in your local area. Events facilitated by Invictus Australia will provide a platform for teamwork and skill to meet the fast-paced world of gaming.

We partner with @sportsadf to deliver Team Australia to the Invictus Games.
In an Invictus Games first, veterans will compete in winter sports at the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025. Hear from Invictus Games alumni and Para Athlete Matt Brumby as he introduces us to Nordic Skiing and Biathlon.
Nordic Skiing challenges competitors to race across rugged terrain using classic skiing techniques, showcasing their stamina and mental toughness in this test of endurance. Split between novices and advance skiers, competitors will race between 750m to 1500m.
The Biathlon adds a twist, combining the physical demands of cross-country skiing with the precision of target shooting, where competitors will use electronic shooting systems to test their focus to hit every mark.

Congratulations to those members of Team Veteran who raced at the 2024 ACT Veterans Indoor Rowing in Shoalhaven, NSW earlier this month.
Veteran Engagement Coordinator Megan was on hand cheering on the team, inspired by how close this group have become by participating in regular indoor rowing throughout the year.
"It was amazing to witness the camaraderie, determination, and sheer effort on display."
