Commando Welfare Trust

The Commando Welfare Trust was founded in 2010 to establish a perpetual safety net for Special Operations Command (SOCOMD) soldiers, veterans and family members. SOCOMD is a brigade of elite soldiers who train under extremely dangerous conditions, are disproportionately deployed into combat and are 50% more likely to experience a casualty. The tragic events they face invariably cause financial and emotional hardship for many years, placing an ongoing toll on Australian families. The trauma of losing a loved one or living with a debilitating injury creates daily challenges that can last a lifetime.
