This month, we paused to reflect on Anzac Day. Across the country, and the world, we saw both current and former serving personnel, their loved ones and the wider community come together to commemorate the day.

 Invictus Australia staff observed this day in their local communities, attending services across the country. This year we also had the support of many organisations wishing to highlight the strength, resilience and bravery of veterans and families. Thank you to the Essendonians, Channel Nine and the NRL for helping us mark this day. 

WA veterans and family members - our Veteran Engagement team are bringing their 'Come and Try' sporting events to you this May. 

Friday 2nd May - Dinner & Bowls social event - Cockburn, WA

Join us for a game of bowls, followed by a half price dinner and a chance to connect with other veterans and families.

Sunday 4th May - Come and Try Wheelchair Footy - Warnbro, WA
