Who we are

At Mates4Mates, we are here for those impacted by service.

Mates4Mates is proudly part of RSL Queensland since its establishment in 2013 and is here for those impacted by service.

As one of Australia’s leading veteran charities, Mates4Mates supports current and ex-serving Defence Force members and families who have been impacted by service who need support to reconnect and recover.

In Australia, there is estimated to be more than half a million veterans, many of whom face the mental, physical, and social impacts of service. At Mates4Mates, we provide support to help the Defence community through the challenges they may face with a range of services tailored to all aspects of health and wellbeing. This includes mental health and physical rehabilitation services, skills-based recovery programs, and social connection activities.

Many Mates4Mates staff come from all areas of the Defence community and understand what it means to serve, and the challenges faced by veterans and family members alike. Our highly skilled team is ready and available to provide support to you and your family when you need it.

We build communities for current and ex-serving Defence Force members and families to come together and find support across Australia, with services offered at Veteran & Family Wellbeing Centres in North Queensland, South East Queensland, Tasmania, and the Northern Territory, as well as in outreach areas.
