Callan Mclean on the Importance of Team Sport
“Sport is now helping me maintain purpose, focus and discipline in my everyday life.” – Karl Woodward
Karl is one of 12 Team Veteran Australia members heading to South Africa for the 2026 Lifesaving World Championships! 🇦🇺
The team began in 2022, when Invictus Australia helped create a world-first opportunity for veterans from different surf lifesaving clubs to compete internationally under one team cap.
Now, Karl and five other returning members are joining new teammates for the team’s third World Championships.

Put one foot in front of the other. Walk side-by-side with people who get it.
Invictus Australia and The Man Walk are teaming up at Man Walks across the country. At select walks, Invictus Australia representatives will be on site to connect, and provide special challenge coins to the veterans who attend.
It’s an opportunity to get moving, have a chat and connect with others in a relaxed, supportive environment. You might even make a few new mates along the way.
Find a Man Walk near you and come along for some steps and good company.
Some dates are still TBC, so keep an eye on your local Invictus Australia Facebook Group for updates.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them. Lest we forget.
On Remembrance Day, we remember and honour all those who have served, those who continue to serve, and those who gave their lives in service.
We recognise the strength it takes to serve, and the challenges many continue to face long after leaving uniform. We also acknowledge the role the families of veterans play at all stages of service.
If you or you know someone who needs support, there is support available.
For Veterans and families, reach out to @openarmspeers on 1800 011 046, or the general public can call Lifeline anytime on 13 11 14.
