The Sergeant Matthew Locke MG Charity is committed to ensuring that both former and current serving veterans are valued by both the government and the community.

In delivering social and informative events for veterans, their families, and the wider population, the charity provides the necessary awareness and connection for accessing appropriate veteran support groups.

Through collaboration with other ex-service organisations the SGT Matthew Locke MG Charity promotes acknowledgement of service, entitlements for veterans, the significance of remembrance, and upholds the legacy of those who gave all.

Australian veteran support organisations are essential for many reasons:
• Veterans can often face unique physical, psychological, and social challenges resulting from their service.
• Transitioning to civilian life can be difficult and isolating.
• Navigating government support systems is often complex.
• Camaraderie support and community connection are vital for recovery and wellbeing.
• Families of veterans also need targeted support.
• Ongoing advocacy is required to improve services and recognition for veterans.

Australian veterans support organisations fill critical gaps, provide life-saving services, and help ensure Australia honours its commitment to those who have served. They play a vital role in helping provide:
• mental health care
• advocacy
• physical rehabilitation
• transition assistance
• financial help
• social connection and camaraderie
• family support
• recognition of service

Their work ensures that those who have served the nation are supported in all aspects of life, both during and after their military careers.
