Empowering
Veterans’
communities
Many of Australia’s frontline military men and women and their families have paid a high personal price for their service to our country. Our vision is for all who have served to be treated with the respect and dignity they deserve and to lead a
high-quality and healthy life.

Our Why
Veterans come from all walks of life. Many brave people have stepped up when our country needed them most to protect our rights and fight for freedom, fairness, and equality of opportunity, which are central to our community remaining a secure, prosperous, and peaceful place to live. However, many veterans unfortunately face social and financial distress, and issues (sometimes lifelong) related
to post-traumatic stress disorder or other emotional
or mental health difficulties.
The Chau Chak Wing Foundation believes the sacrifices our service men and women have made should be recognised and repaid with the level of respect and care they deserve. This is why
Dr. Chau is particularly proud to support and contribute to the several non-profit organisations and charities that focus on serving veterans and their families.
Accordingly, the Chau Chak Wing Foundation will continue to make meaningful contributions that support our veterans’ community.
Our Objectives
-
To collaborate with and support organisations focused on supporting war veterans, serving and former serving members of the ADF, Australian Federal Police and their families.
-
To provide education opportunities for promoting Australian military history, and to raise awareness about the contribution from Australian military personnel from different backgrounds.

How We Work
The Chau Chak Wing Foundation has a proud history of collaborating with Australian charities and organisations that support veterans, including Solider On Australia, Legacy Australia, Lifeline Australia, the Australian War Memorial, Commandos Welfare Trust and Fortem Australia. We provide targeted financial support to these organisations to help them satisfy the needs of current and future from veterans.
Some specific examples of support include:
Soldier On
Dr. Chau donated $500,000 to Soldier On to support better services for returned veterans to help them build meaningful civilian lives.
About Soldier On Australia: Soldier On Australia was established in 2012 by John Bale,
Dr Danielle Clout and Cavin Wilson, following the death of a friend on deployment in Afghanistan. Soldier On is a not-for -profit veteran support organisation that delivers a range of services to help contemporary veterans and their family members.
