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!

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.
If you are a veteran or family member in the North Queensland area, join the Facebook group to hear about events near you via the link in bio.
