Veterans' Health Week

8 – 15 October 2023.

Veterans’ Health Week 2023 will be held from 8 October to 15 October 2023.

This year’s Veterans’ Health Week theme is centred around Mental Wellness Matters, promoting good health and wellbeing in the everyday life of veterans and families, and shines a spotlight on the importance of mental health. 

To support this, Mates4Mates is excited to be offering a range of events in South East Queensland, North Queensland, Northern Territory, Tasmania and online throughout the entire month of October. 

All events are free for current and ex-serving Defence Force members, and their families, registered with Mates4Mates*. For more information about a specific event, or to register, simply select the event below to find out more.

If you are not an inducted Mates4Mates member and would like to take part, simply complete the Mates4Mates online new client form and our team will be in touch soon.
