Our Mission

Helping ADF Veterans through education, employment and transition

In 2019, crewed by current and former ADF Special Forces personnel, Happy Wanderer raced in the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.

We raised $110,000 for the Wandering Warriors Foundation a veteran organisation supporting Veterans and their families through education, employment, respite and mentoring programs.

This year, the team is racing again, aiming to raise $250,000 for Veteran higher education programs, transition support and mentoring.

From no sailing experience, to a fourth place in our division.....

1

$110,000 raised

Directly supporting higher education scholarships for ADF and Special Forces personnel leaving service

2

Educational Empowerment

Unlocking Veteran’s skills and experience through higher education pathways.

3

Awareness and Support

Generating awareness of the Wandering Warriors Foundation, a key not for profit veteran support organisation.

Why your support matters

For many ADF Special Forces members, the desire to serve their country and others does not end on the day they turn in their uniforms. There currently exists no supported pathways for these Veterans to access higher education.

Special Forces Veterans possess skills highly sought in civilian life. The Wandering Warriors Foundation helps translate these skills through education programs at Australian universities, easing the transition from military to civilian careers.

We support these programs through participation in exciting and challenging events, including the 2024 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, empowering veterans through education and meaningful opportunities.
