Wounded Heroes has created a lounge for current serving and transitioning members, and their families, of the Australian Defence Force  – all ranks and services, including Welfare Staff, Chaplains, Reservists and, of course, Veterans.

The Veteran Community Lounge welcomes veterans and their families  to come together with our Gaythorne Legacy War Widow Volunteers over a brew. A combined 17,500 years of lived military experience to share.

​

We have created a relaxing new space, without alcohol or pokies, to allow veterans and spouses to draw on the experience of others who have navigated the challenges of contemporary military life.

The Veteran Community Lounge reflects our current objectives to assist our Veterans & their families in immediate financial crisis.

​

We then navigate to the other community services that are readily available, without duplication. In doing so, we continue our 15 year tradition of  Compassion, Hope and Purpose.

The Veteran Community Lounge will proffer connection to community so that we all may share in the opportunity to pay our respects to our extended Defence Family – on any given day.

​

We have commissioned a feature wall dedicated to Veteran families in permanent recognition of the life and service of a loved one.
