"You need to have that support just to keep you on "You need to have that support just to keep you on the road"

It's a mateship that transcends boarders for Australian competitor Craig and his friend Damien. 

Sport has the power to change lives, and save lives.

Serious injury or illness can significantly affect a person physically, psychologically and socially. For those who have served, these injuries or illnesses, whether sustained during conflict or otherwise, can have the additional impact of dramatic and sudden changes to their chosen career or lifestyle, placing pressure on their family or home life.

The #InvictusGames offers a recovery pathway for international wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women but more than that #InvictusAustralia operates year round not just during the Games. 

Invictus Australia believes in the power of sport to assist in recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration of our servicemen and women. We do this through partnerships with sporting bodies, ex-service organisations, governments, business and the community.

Great morning kicking off the first of our 33 nati Great morning kicking off the first of our 33 national #VeteranHealthWeek activities, enjoying a (not)parkrun at Fitzroy Gardens in Melbourne, with our awesome community including @soldieronaust, @parkrunau, ipar and #InvictusAustralia staff and supporters. 

Referred to as (not)parkrun’s, these events take place outside the usual Saturday morning timeslot yet can be logged with @parkrunau 

It was great to welcome our newest Regional Manager Veteran Engagement - Victoria  @chris_burson_avp to the team.
