Our services

Making all the difference for those impacted by service.

At Mates4Mates, we offer many pathways for veterans and families to recover and reconnect with the help of our comprehensive support and rehabilitation services.

Through our mental health and physical rehabilitation services, veterans and family members can access a highly skilled team of clinicians including psychologists, counsellors, social workers, exercise physiologists, and physiotherapists.

Our Skills for Recovery Programs and social connection activities provide opportunities for veterans and families to reconnect with like-minded others while also learning a new skill or a strategy to manage long-term health and wellbeing.

Mates4Mates physical, mental, and social health services can be accessed nationally through purpose-built Veteran & Family Wellbeing Centres in North Queensland, South East Queensland, the Northern Territory, and Tasmania, as well as in outreach areas.

Our staff truly understand the Defence Force experience, many of whom are veterans themselves or come from a Defence family.

Mates4Mates also offers online skills-based recovery programs and telehealth clinical appointments to support veterans and families no matter where they live.

Breaking that isolation and finding other veterans that speak the same language is really helpful. It brought me back to life and got me living again. You realise you’re not alone and others go through the same things.
