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 the Mates4Mates Veteran & Family Wellbeing Centre 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. 

The Mates4Mates Veteran & Family Wellbeing Centre includes clinical services, a gym, a veterans’ lounge, as well as a space for social connection activities. Local ex-service organisations also deliver services within the centre to provide employment, transition and housing programs, and advocacy support.

Mates4Mates acknowledges the $5 million grant from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs to develop this Veterans’ and Families’ Hub.

To book an appointment with our exercise physiologist, you will need a Medicare or DVA referral from your GP. Appointments can also be made with our social worker.

To access our centres, all current and ex-serving ADF members and their families will need to complete our new client form. Once you have joined, you are welcome to come and go as you need for appointments, programs and social connection activities. 

The Mates4Mates Veteran & Family Wellbeing Centre is open from 8.30am to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday. Talk with our staff about activities which may occur outside of regular opening hours.

Veterans can also join the Mates4Mates Northern Territory Facebook group to stay up to date with what’s happening each week.
