Our Vision.
Our vision at Aussie Frontline Foundation (AFF) is to help improve the physical, mental and emotional well being of our frontline workers - including first responders (primarily fire fighters, paramedics and police officers) as well as Australian Defence Force members and veterans.
These essential workers, who play such an important role in our communities, often experience significant challenges and the result is skyrocketing rates of mental health issues as well as alarmingly high suicide rates.
AFF is the benevolent funding source to turn this vision into a reality and create better outcomes for all our frontliners through the development and deployment of much needed support services, and the creation of a supportive and connected community.
Why what we do is so important.
The shocking statistics really do speak for themselves. The recent Australian Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide also highlighted the need for services exactly like the ones we offer.
We also know frontliners have a reluctance and resistance to engaging with support within their own organisations for a multitude of reasons. So the need for an independent resource is critical in supporting them in a meaningful way without bias or compromise. By operating independently of any government or service-related organisation, we’re able to do this much more effectively.
In addition to our primary beneficiary group, our services will also be of value to a broader community including corrections officers, hospital emergency department staff, surf life savers, and mine site emergency response staff to name just a few.
Our vision is already in action.
The Aussie Frontline Foundation has been created to scale up the valued support and resources currently being provided by Aussie Frontline Pty Ltd. These services have been created by people with real world, first hand experience of the communities and the issues they face, and already has a loyal and grateful group of frontliners who both contribute to, and benefit from, what we do.
By first identifying this need, and then catering to it through our self-funded model, we were able to establish a robust, working model which includes conferences, social gatherings and activities as well as educational resources and counselling services. The challenge now is to scale it to create a wider positive impact on our frontline communities which we can do with the support of third-party benevolent donations.
The team behind Aussie Frontline Foundation.
Our founding team consists of current serving police officers and a former army special operations doctor with multiple operational deployments to Afghanistan. This lived experience provides first-hand knowledge of the unique stressors facing serving military members, veterans, and first responders, and allows the provision of culturally relevant services with visceral empathy.
We need your support, to offer more support.
The reality is, the demand for what we do far outweighs our current ability to provide the level of support that’s needed out there in the frontline community. Whilst we’ve been effective at self-funding to develop and provide service to date, we need more support to be able to offer more support to those who need, and deserve it.
Your donation will help ensure we can continue to facilitate more workshops, conferences, training sessions, and other gatherings, and generate educational materials, with the primary focus of improving the physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing of frontliners at minimal to no cost to them.
All donations over $2 are tax-deductible.
