Wounded Heroes Association is a national community organisationdoing whatever it takes to provide support to Australian servicemen and women and their families, to ease the financial, emotional and personal hardships of contemporary military life.This is principally done by providing short-term emergency relief payments to individuals and their families, although funds are also available for other purposes where a need exists. The men and women of the Australian Defence Force answer the call of duty selflessly and without hesitation, and forfeit much during their service to Australia. They give more, risk more and sacrifice more, and in the event of wounds or injury, their lives will never be the same again.Standing behind these young men and women are their families. sSilent and supportive, they get on with everyday life during their loved one's absence, or convalescence after their return from operations. Australia owes these military personnel and their families a debt of gratitude for their service. Wounded Heroes Association Inc. is a Registered Australian Public Benevolent Institution.
