Mission

At Wounded Heroes Australia, our mission is to provide comprehensive support to veterans, current members of the Australian Defence Force (ADF), and their families by offering immediate assistance to address financial, emotional, and personal challenges. We recognise that domestic violence is a profound and distressing issue, and we are dedicated to offering support to those affected by it. Through our 24/7 crisis helpline, we deliver critical resources and guidance during times of need, including specialised assistance for individuals experiencing domestic violence, which remains a prominent concern within the calls we receive.


Our goal is to improve the lives of veterans, ADF personnel, and their families by delivering compassionate, reliable support when it is needed most, ensuring that those facing, financial crisis, suicidal ideations and domestic violence have the help and resources necessary. 

Vision

We envision a future where veterans and their families will be supported prior, during and post transition from service so that veterans will no longer turn to suicide as their only option, post service. Thus, resulting in less stigma, increased awareness and reduced instancesof suicide, homelessness, domestic violance and financial crisis, by restoring their dignity.

Values

We treat every veteran with compassion and without judgement and provide support giving them purpose and hope for the future.
