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

At our Townsville centre, located in Aitkenvale, 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 our new client form.

RSL Queensland’s Townsville branch is co-located within the centre, providing access to RSL Qld Veteran Services’ Officers who can provide advice and assistance with the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) claims process.  

The 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 our North Queensland Centre Facebook Group to stay up to date with what’s happening each week.
