    The legacy of the 2018 Sydney Invictus Games: a national program supporting veterans through sport and wellbeing Veteran Sport Australia is a national program that will pick up the mantle from the Sydney 2018 Invictus Games and continue to support Australia’s veterans and their families through the power of sport.

Initial coordinating partners include the Australian Defence Force, Department of Veterans Affairs, state RSL branches and RSL National, Legacy Australia, Soldier On, The Road Home, and Mates for Mates. Funding and support for the initiative is being provided by RSL NSW, Clubs NSW, and legacy provisions from the Sydney 2018 Invictus Games. Connected to grassroots volunteers in the ex-service community, as well as major Australian sporting organisations, Veteran Sport Australia will be run by a professional team based in ANZAC House Sydney. It will closely coordinate with adaptive sporting programs delivered by the Australian Defence Force and will have responsibility for sponsoring ex-service competitors for Team Australia at the 2020 Invictus Games.
