Get Involved & Make a difference

Supporting the families of our fallen and incapacitated veterans starts with you

THE REALITY

At FNQ Legacy, we believe no veteran’s family should face hardship alone. Whether you want to donate, volunteer, or partner with us, your support ensures the families of our heroes get the care and opportunities they deserve.

There are loads of ways to get involved...

The Next Step

Join us on our mission to Support Our Veterans' Families.

We don't have all the answers, but what we can provide is unwavering dedication, compassionate support, and a community that cares deeply about honouring their service and sacrifices.

And for as little as $5 a week, you can provide a comforting cup of coffee and a listening ear to someone who may be feeling isolated or in need of companionship.

Your small gesture of kindness can brighten their day and remind them that they are not alone in their journey.

Join us in making a difference, one cup and conversation at a time.

Mia's Story

Mia’s dad gave a lot in service to our nation. For almost 10 years, he served in the Australian Army’s 3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment. As a Corporal, he trained new recruits to face the kind of challenges he encountered when he served on the frontline in East Timor.

Then tragically, when Mia was six, her beloved father took his life.

 

Elizabeth's Story

When Barry died, Elizabeth’s whole world changed in an instant. No longer an army wife, instead, Elizabeth found herself the single mum of four young children. Her oldest, fifteen, her youngest, only just turned three.

“Our family had been living in married quarters – that’s where Barry collapsed, where he died. And I got a letter from the Army asking me to vacate the premises within the month because they needed them.”
