The Invictus Games is a testament to the strength, spirit, and recovery journeys of those who have sacrificed for their country.
The 33 members of Team Australia are a mix of both current and former serving military personnel who have been wounded, injured, or become ill during their service.
The Invictus Games is a unique platform for participants to harness the power of sport in their recovery journey.
These seventh Invictus Games will, for the first time, feature both summer and winter adaptive sports, including alpine skiing, snowboarding, indoor rowing, biathlon, Nordic skiing, sitting volleyball, skeleton, swimming, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair curling and wheelchair rugby.
Engagement in sport has long been recognised as a key factor in rehabilitation and recovery for veterans.
Invictus Australia not only supports veterans through international events, but their community sport program plays a huge role in supporting veterans transition to civilian life.
“The Australian government wishes Team Australia the very best of luck, we know you’ll make our nation and yourselves proud,” Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Minister for Defence Personnel Matt Keogh said.
Team Australia is supported by the Australian Defence Force and Invictus Australia.
Team Australia includes Jarryd Boyd, Justin Brown, Katie Chapman, Cindy Chawner, Dane Greenstreet, Doug Griffiths, Sean Grimmon, Alex Hale, Christopher Hill, Jake Christie, Chelsie Tayler Clayton, Nigel Coutts, Belinda Culley, Elizabeth Daly, Alexander Gair, Danny Giles, Kaz Gladys, Adam Jackson, Ty King, Emily Lahey, Torben Louwen-Skovdam, Jo Lovell, Luke Manhire, Jason Marsh, Colin McCallum, Luke McCallum, Callan Mclean, Olivia Miley-Dyer, Dave Miln, Sue Osborn, Jason Readdy, Tricia Reynolds and Jamie Smyth.
