Port Adelaide’s ADF Veterans Program assists with the crucial transition for ex-service men and women back to civilian life, and helps participants find purpose and identity away from the ADF. 

The program is delivered in partnership with Veteran’s SA and DEWC Services. 

Drawing on the similarities of transitioning from high-performing environments, ex AFL-players and ADF veterans come together to re-identify a sense of purpose and community connection.

Delivered over a six week period, outcomes seek to address challenges associated with transition, mental health, wellbeing and relationships.

In addition to the six weeks, a number of events are delivered across the year with current and past program participants to promote ongoing connection and belonging.
