Soldier On Australia

This morning, Soldier On brought together veterans, supporters, philanthropists, and corporate partners for a special VIP Business Breakfast, proudly hosted by KPMG Australia in Melbourne. The event created space for reflection and meaningful conversation, shining a light on the challenges veterans face as they transition from military to civilian life, and the role that employers play in supporting that journey. Soldier On CEO Paul Singer CVO shared updates on our national programs and the newly released Impact Report 2024–2025, celebrating the power of partnership and community. Guests also heard from KPMG Partner and Air Force veteran Wendell Fox, and Royal Australian Navy veteran Joe Piasecki, whose stories reminded us that remembrance is not just about reflection - it’s about action. Together, we continue to build understanding, opportunity, and renewal for Australia’s veteran community. 🌱🎖️ Read more about the event here: https://lnkd.in/gAMDjdhR #SoldierOn #VeteranSupport #Community #Partnership #Remembrance #Renewal #Relationships

We’re going deeper in Episode Two of Saluting Their Service! ⚓ What’s life really like beneath the sea? In this episode of Saluting Their Service, Jason Isaac sits down with Joe Piasecki, a former submariner, to explore the hidden world of submarine service - from mastering life on board and building unshakeable trust, to debunking myths about claustrophobia and “Yellow Submarines.” Joe also shares the realities of long deployments, family separation, reintegration at home, and practical advice for those preparing to leave Defence. A candid, human conversation about resilience, camaraderie, and purpose – from someone who’s lived it. Thank you to Melbourne Legacy for providing the space to film this episode.

On Saturday, members of the 2015 Soldier On Ride to Recovery Giro Dolomites cycling team reunited to mark 10 years since they took on one of the toughest climbs in the world - all in support of veterans and their families. 🚴 Among them were veterans Sarah, Matt and Jamie, whose courage and determination inspired thousands then and continue to inspire us today. They were joined by long-time Soldier On supporters Hamish Blake and Cadel Evans, who have stood beside the veteran community for over a decade. What began as a challenging ride in the Italian Alps became something far greater: - A message of solidarity - A catalyst for national awareness - The spark that helped shape Soldier On in its early years. To the riders - thank you for your commitment, your heart and your ongoing support. Once you’re part of the Soldier On family… you always are. ❤️💪 #SoldierOn #RideToRecovery #10YearReunion
