Team Australia
“My gold medal today was simply turning up.” – Invictus Games competitor and Invictus Australia supporter
At Invictus Australia we support former-serving competitors at international events. We work in partnership with the Australian Defence Force for the Invictus Games and Warrior Games.
The Invictus Games use the power of sport to inspire recovery, support rehabilitation and generate a wider understanding and respect for wounded, injured and ill Servicemen and women.
“These Games have shone a spotlight on the ‘unconquerable’ character of servicemen and women, their families and the ‘invictus’ spirit. These Games have been about seeing guys sprinting for the finish line and then turning round to clap the last man in. They have been about teammates choosing to cross the line together, not wanting to come second, but not wanting the other guys to either. These Games have shown the very best of the human spirit.”
