Whether you need a coffee and a chat, access to support and rehabilitation services, or you want to meet others who understand what you’re going through, you’re welcome at Mates4Mates. 

At our Brisbane Family Recovery Centre, located in Milton, you’ll find a community of like-minded current and ex-serving Defence Force members who have been impacted by service, and their families. Our staff and Mates understand what you’re going through and are here to help – with no judgements or expectations. 

To book an appointment with one of our psychologists or exercise physiologists, you will need a Medicare or DVA referral from your GP. For all other services, you will need to join Mates4Mates by filling out an application form. Once you have joined, you are welcome to come and go as you need for appointments, programs and social connection activities. The Family Recovery Centre is open from 8.30am to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday. Talk with our Family Recovery Centre staff about activities which may occur outside of regular opening hours.

Veterans can also join our South East Queensland Family Recovery Centre Facebook Group to stay up to date with what’s happening each week.
