Defence Community Sports Expo – Stockton -NSW
October 19 @ 10:30 am - 2:30 pm
A welcoming family day that creates a unique opportunity for current and former serving veterans and their families to explore a variety of sports and connect with ex-service organisations (ESOs) whilst also having the opportunity to connect with like-minded veterans and their families.
Attendees will have the chance to try a variety of sports and activities that the whole family can enjoy, as well as a range of information booths by organisations supporting veterans.
TOP MOMENTS OF 2024 | We couldn`t wrap the year up without reminiscing on our expansion to Townsville.
In October, we were welcomed into the Townsville defence community, with the aim to support the more than 14,000 veterans and their families that call the area home. Since then, Veteran Engagement Manager Justine has been dedicated to creating sporting opportunities that foster community and purpose—whether through participating, volunteering, coaching, or spectating.

TOP MOMENTS OF 2024 | This year, veterans and families in WA, SA, NSW and the ACT came together at our Defence Community Sport Expos for days of fun, fitness and friendship.
For many, these events provided a much-needed opportunity to connect with others who truly understand the unique experiences of the defence community. Through sport, veterans and families found camaraderie, support and a renewed sense of purpose.
Facilitated by our Veteran Engagement Managers, these expos showcased the power of collaboration between Australia’s sporting ecosystem, our valued partners, and ex-service organisations, all working together to benefit local defence communities. A special thank you to our corporate partners, sporting partners, and ESOs who make these events possible.
We’re excited to bring the Defence Community Sport Expos back in 2025. Join your local Facebook group via the link in bio to be the first to know when there is one in your area.
