What is the Veteran Games?

The Veteran Games is a proactive health initiative designed to directly address the key findings from the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide and the long-standing gaps within Australia’s current Veteran support systems. Our aim is to help current and former serving personnel reconnect as a community, rediscover purpose, and celebrate the strengths of their military identity with a focus on improving mental and physical health outcomes for current and future generations of Australian Veterans. Competing in teams of 8 - 10, this military-style event gives both current and former serving personnel an exclusive opportunity to put their skills, experience, camaraderie and resilience to the test. Teams take on a series of specially designed military-inspired events, including the obstacle course challenge and other surprise tasks requiring problem solving & teamwork - with each event replicating activities conducted during active military service or combat.
