Exercise Warhorse “Veterans supporting Veterans”
Open Door Initiative
Improving the wellbeing of veterans and public safety personnel and their families.
A program for personnel leaving the Armed Services and transitioning to civilian life and culture.
Exercise Warhorse supports the transition of veterans from the military to civilian life.?
Defence personnel leave the services with many skills and experiences. Exercise Warhorse provides an opportunity to draw upon those skills and learn new ones.?
Exercise Warhorse recognises separation from the military and transition to civilian life as a time of opportunity and challenge. The archaeological dig provides an opportunity to learn new skills, learn about Australian military history, and uncover the past.?
Exercise Warhorse also provides the opportunity to reflect upon your own service and transition supporting you in your new phase of life. Our staff and volunteers will support you and your family.
Archaeology is the main tool we use to facilitate the program. You may not want to become an archaeologist, but finding artifacts is part of a detective story where you can reflect upon military service, your service and your future.?
If you enjoy archaeology and consider further involvement at university you can apply to participate in the Military Academic Pathway Program
You will be welcome to become part of the Warhorse community and participate in our ongoing activities and support. We hope some of you become long-term Warhorse Volunteers to support fellow service personnel going through similar journeys and challenges.
