TOP MOMENTS OF 2024 | How could we forget the incredible Warrior Games?
In June, we were inspired by the 30 competitors who traveled to Florida, supported by their family and friends, to represent Team Australia at the 2024 @dodwarriorgames.
While the grit, determination, and medals were remarkable, what truly stood out were the moments of connection, camaraderie, and resilience and the support of their inspiring family and friends. These moments reminded us of the profound impact sport has on the physical, mental, and social well-being of veterans and their families.
We partner with the Australian Defence Force to deliver Team Australia for the Warrior and Invictus Games as part of the Adaptive Sport Program.

TOP MOMENTS OF 2024 | As 2024 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the incredible community participation during this year’s Veteran`s Health Week.
A Department of Veterans` Affairs initiative, this year`s theme, Keep Connected, perfectly aligns to our core mission. Throughout October, we facilitating or co-facilitating 113 local sporting events with 1,520 veterans and family members who came together to get active and form connect within their communities.
From True Grit and the NSW Defence Community Sport Expo, to parkrun and pickleball, we were once again inspired by the power sport to unite veterans and their families.
We look forward to furthering our impact during Veteran`s Health Week in 2025.

TOP MOMENTS OF 2024 | This year, veterans from the Adaptive Sport Program (ASP), delivered in partnership between The Australian Defence Force and Invictus Australia, were able to utilise the state of the art facilities at @theais_ in preparation for the Warrior and Invictus Games.
Using the same world-class facilities where many of Australia’s elite athletes have trained, ASP participants honed their skills in sports ranging from archery to wheelchair rugby during selection and training camps in Canberra.
It was incredible to witness moments of resilience, determination, and camaraderie as the participants thrived in their training. Here’s a look back at some of those unforgettable highlights!
