About the Veteran Wellbeing Centre

Veterans’ and Families’ Hubs (formerly known and Veterans’ Wellbeing Centres) have been established across Australia to provide all current and former serving Australian Defence Force (ADF) members, including reservists, and their families with access to a range of services including wellbeing support, advocacy, employment and housing advice, social connection and physical and mental health services.

SA Health oversees the Veteran Wellbeing Centre, a hub located within the Repat Health Precinct, in Adelaide.

The VWC sits within the broader Veterans’ Memorial Trail at the Repat Health Precinct, along with the Repat Chapel, Remembrance Gardens, Museum and SPF Hall. These are protected and preserved as community assets, acknowledging the history of the Repat.

The Veterans’ Memorial Trail has been designed to acknowledge the important and meaningful connection the veteran community has with the Repat Health Precinct and ensure this important relationship is honoured and continued.

The refurbished SPF Hall provides veterans and the veteran community with a unique, historically significant, and dedicated group meeting space that can accommodate large groups of people for a large range of activities, including presentations, seminars, workshops, group therapy sessions, community development activities and other events.

A Town Square in the heart of the Repat Health Precinct provides a focal point, connecting services through a central hub, providing a space for play, interaction, or contemplation. This green space is enjoyed by veterans and their families, patrons of the Repat Health Precinct and the public.

A courtesy transport service, Brownie’s Bus is available to help consumers, families, and visitors with mobility across the site, and is named in honour of WWII veteran Les Brown.

For further information about booking a tour, guest speakers or community events phone (08) 7117 5271.
