Community of Veteran’s and Gamers

Community of Veteran’s and Gamers

 Founded in 2021, Veteran Gaming Australia’s mission is to develop a community around a shared love of gaming for current and ex-serving veterans. Our aim is to improve veteran wellbeing and decrease reasons for isolation, hardship and health issues experienced by members of our community.

The Break have an upcoming event where we can provide some kayaking, games, showbags etc at a completely free fun day at Albert Park Lake on 25/11/23. We will be running the kayaking from the jetty between the cailing clubs on Aquatic drive, games in the park north of the sailing clubs, and a BBQ in this same bit of parkland.

The Break focuses on finding gaps in social services, researching world best practice support methods, seeking to enhance these methods, and then implementing these better-than-best practice methods. This has grown since our inception in February 2018 to 36 different project areas and 300 volunteers supporting this mission. We do everything from supporting youth descending into the justice system to find more prosocial hobbies, to mental health supports, right through to assisting the elderly to be immortalised in print (see No Snowflake 1 memoir on Amazon.com.au). We run regular walks (with games), kayak trips, anger management classes, relapse prevention classes, offer case management & counselling, video projects to promote struggling artists, and develop pitches to the government to resolve issues currently that could be better managed.

We currently have funding to get the veteran community into prosocial hobbies like social kayaking, walks in nature, mindfulness, therapeutic arts, picnics, even DnD with/without their kids, etc. We either run this as a veteran-only undertaking, or allow vets to bring family/friends, or even just have vets mix with the community to build networks outside their immediate circle. Our activities are all free. We operate on the FEPSIA model, meaning all we do must be Fun, Emotionally and Physically Safe, Inclusive, and Accessible. We are run by an ex-126 sigs member, so have a special interest in supporting vets.

Sculpture Park

Sculpture Park

Unlike other Australian sculpture parks accessible to members of the public, Pt. Leo Estate Sculpture Park includes works by major international as well as major Australian artists. This impressive roll call includes KAWS, George Rickey, Tony Cragg, Inge King, Boaz Vaadia, Tomokazu Matsuyama, Barry Flanagan, Julian Opie, Bruce Armstrong and Lenton Parr. Each work has an explanatory plaque giving details on the artist, a succinct account of their career and a short statement about the significance of the work itself.

With a program of future acquisitions and site-specific commissions in prospect, the park is an ever-evolving outdoor gallery.
