About Us
Founded in 2015, Trek4Vets is more than just a fundraising initiative. We believe in the power of human connection, community, and active participation.
Through our signature annual events we cultivate a space where the civilian and military worlds converge. These events are more than just ceremonies; they're platforms for important dialogue, respect, and collective support.
Join us in making a tangible difference for veterans and bridging the gap between our two communities. Together, we can create meaningful change, remember those who we have lost and celebrate the bonds that can be made when uniting.
We Support Those Who Support Our Vets
Organisations we are Supporting in 2025
Waves of Wellness
Waves of Wellness (WOW) is a mental health surf therapy charity committed to changing lives by delivering free, innovative, for-purpose support programs for people experiencing mental health challenges.
They have veteran specific programs and are designed to create a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone can feel comfortable sharing their experiences and connecting with others.
We believe dealing with mental health is not just about dealing with a crisis; it’s also about finding healthy outlets for people who are struggling, recovering, and doing fine.
Harbour Combat Sports
Harbour Combat Sports is committed to enhancing the mental health and wellness of Australian Defence Force (ADF) veterans by providing a supportive and empowering environment through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) and combat sports.
We understand the unique challenges that ADF veterans face and aim to offer a space where they can build physical strength, mental resilience, and a sense of community.
Through the discipline of Jiu Jitsu and combat sports our program helps foster confidence, reduce stress, and promote a positive outlook, all while creating meaningful connections with others who share similar experiences. Our mission is to establish a network of support that encourages both personal growth and camaraderie.
Whether seeking improved mental and physical well-being or simply a place to belong, Harbour Combat Sports is here to help ADF veterans regain their strength, focus, and peace of mind. Together, we fight for mental health, one roll at a time.
Organisations we have Supported in the Past
Tribe | Routine | Identity | Purpose
Swiss 8 is a health promotion charity, founded by combat veterans to build proactive mental health tools. Their focus is to be a positive agitator for change.
Our veterans have lived experience in dealing with disconnection, loss of identity, loss of purpose, anxiety and depression. We’re using this experience to create coaching platforms that assist you and your tribe in building a healthy, high performing lifestyle.
Their digital coaching system and certified coaching courses will help veterans connect with their own tribe, structure their lives for success, create a new identity and find purpose in their new existence.
They will make you, Better at Life.
