Wounded Heroes Australia is dedicated to supporting veterans, current members of the Australian Defence Force (ADF), and their families who are facing hardship due to changing circumstances or delays in defence-related processes. Our focus is on providing holistic support to help individuals and families navigate these challenges, ensuring they have the resources and guidance necessary for recovery.
We offer financial assistance to alleviate immediate stressors, alongside specialized help for those impacted by domestic violence, ensuring a comprehensive support system for all. Additionally, we collaborate with other veterans' organizations to ensure comprehensive care and receive emergency referrals for assistance from ESOs like RSL, DVA (Triage and Connect), and Open Arms.

In their words
"I was at a point where I honestly didn’t see a way forward. Wounded Heroes stepped in when I needed it most - no judgement, just real support. They helped me get back on my feet, reconnect with people around me, and start rebuilding my life. I wouldn’t be where I am today without them"
- Anonymous, Veteran
"When our family was going through a really tough time, Wounded Heroes were there straight away. The support they provided didn’t just help financially - it gave us breathing room and hope again. Knowing someone cared made all the difference for our family."

"Leaving wasn’t easy, and I didn’t know where to turn. Wounded Heroes supported me during one of the hardest times in my life. They helped me find safe accommodation and gave me the support I needed to start again. For the first time in a long time, I felt safe - and that changed everything for me and my family."
- Anonymous, FDV survivor
