WorkSec & Wounded Heroes Australia
WorkSec is proud to support Wounded Heroes Australia, a veteran-founded charity delivering immediate, practical assistance to current and former serving members of the Australian Defence Force and their families during times of hardship and crisis.
Our support reflects WorkSec’s commitment to standing alongside veterans beyond service – ensuring those who have given so much for Australia are not left to navigate financial distress, housing insecurity, or personal crisis alone.
About Wounded Heroes Australia
A Veteran-Founded, Veteran-Focused Charity
Wounded Heroes Australia was founded by veterans who recognised a critical gap in support for Defence members and their families facing immediate hardship. The organisation exists to provide fast, tangible assistance when it is needed most – without complex bureaucracy or delays.
Support is available to serving members, veterans, and their families across Australia, regardless of service background or length of service.
Practical Support When It Matters Most
Wounded Heroes Australia focuses on addressing urgent, real-world challenges that can arise during or after service. This includes assistance with:
- Emergency accommodation and homelessness prevention
- Essential living expenses and financial relief
- Utilities, food, and transport support
- Crisis intervention for veterans and families at risk
The organisation’s model is deliberately responsive and flexible – designed to remove stress and stabilise situations quickly so individuals and families can focus on recovery and rebuilding.
A Human-Centred Approach
Wounded Heroes Australia operates on a simple principle: treat every veteran and family with dignity, respect, and compassion. Support is delivered without judgement, recognising that hardship can affect anyone, regardless of rank, role, or experience.
By working closely with other veteran support organisations, housing providers, and community services, Wounded Heroes Australia ensures support is coordinated and effective.
National Reach, Local Impact
With a national footprint, Wounded Heroes Australia supports veterans and families across metropolitan, regional, and remote communities. Its impact is felt at the household level – keeping families housed, reducing financial stress, and helping veterans regain stability during periods of transition or crisis.
The organisation relies on donations, sponsorships, and partnerships to deliver assistance quickly and sustainably.
Why This Matters to WorkSec
At WorkSec, trust, responsibility, and people are central to everything we do. Supporting Wounded Heroes Australia aligns directly with our belief that national capability depends not only on operational readiness, but on the wellbeing of the people who serve and their families.
Veterans bring immense value to Australia’s workforce, but meaningful contribution is only possible when basic needs – such as housing, safety, and financial stability – are met. By supporting Wounded Heroes Australia, WorkSec helps strengthen the foundation on which successful transitions and long-term employment outcomes are built.
Get Involved
Wounded Heroes Australia relies on community support to continue delivering critical assistance to veterans and their families in need.
