Veterans and their families impacted by injuries or mental health illnesses may experience isolation, particularly if they’ve recently transitioned out of a close-knit Defence community. Having a community of like-minded people – a group of mates – can be an important part of your wellbeing and recovery.

At Mates4Mates, we hold regular social connection activities throughout the week and on weekends, to provide a safe place to build connections and find mateship. From weekly barbecues and coffee catchups, to creatives arts or cooking groups, school holiday programs and more.
