Support our mates to get the recognition they deserve

Do you support our ADF members and veterans receiving the medallic recognition they so rightly deserve? Have you heard about the Government’s proposed changes to the Defence Honours and Awards Appeals Tribunal?

If you haven’t, let me be clear… I believe that every veteran, their family members, and their supporters deserve the right to have medallic recognition matters heard by an independent tribunal, whether that recognition comes tomorrow or in 50 years’ time. The Labor party are proposing a raft of changes, including imposing a 20-year time limit on reviews and restricting who can even make an application to the Tribunal, just to name a couple.

In the week commencing 24 November, the Senate will have another chance to vote on discharging the Bill. This is a crucial moment, and we need your help.

By clicking the link below, you can send a message to all Labor Members and Senators urging them to stand up for the rights of veterans, protect the independence of the appeals process, and support our motion to finally dump this disgraceful Bill.

The more people who support this campaign, the stronger our voice. Please share this post with your friends and help us get the message out 👇

Today we pause to remember them for their service and sacrifices

Make sure to check out Bobs Garage and join us for Monday night walks

At Bob’s Garage, we know that looking after your mental health is just as important as looking after your ute, your mates, or your family.

This month, we’re reminding every bloke — and the people who love them — that it’s okay to slow down, check in, and reach out.

Whether it’s your health, fitness, finances, family, or just life’s burdens feeling a bit heavy, our team is here to help.

Sometimes that starts with a walk, sometimes a chat over coffee, and sometimes it’s connecting you with professional support — whatever you need, we’ll meet you where you’re at.

💙 You don’t have to carry it alone.

Bring a mate, a brother, a dad — or just yourself — and come see us at Bob’s Garage.

👉 Find support, connection, and understanding right here in our community.

We invite you to partner with us for the 2026 Walking4Warriors Endurance Challenge, scheduled for April 17–18 at Dennis Park, Boyne Island.

The 2026 event will again feature 3, 6, 12, and 24-hour endurance challenge options, live music, fireworks, and tributes to our local Veterans and First Responders. Please refer to our website for more info on our event - https://www.walking4warriors.org/endurance-challenge-fundraiser
