What our members Say
“Buddy Up Australia has been such a great organisation to be a part of.
I have bushwalked, paddle boarded, rode, sketched and painted for the sheer physicality and/or enjoyment of connecting with a great bunch of ex-service and emergency service people and their families. I’ve also cooked for the homeless and raised money to support similar activities for other veterans.
Thanks for the opportunities and comradeship.”
