AU WAVES Invictus Pathways Program

Directions Website

AU WAVES Invictus Pathways Program Formerly Invictus Pathways Program, renamed WAVES in 2024.

A student delivered wellbeing program for current/former serving ADF & First Responders to help them achieve their physical, mental and psychosocial wellbeing goals. Formerly the Invictus Pathways Program, the program was renamed WAVES in 2024 to better reflect the overall goals of the program and all of its components. WAVES, jointly founded by The Hospital Research Foundation and UniSA, focusses on the use of sport, exercise and participation in community adaptive sports to assist serving and veteran defence force personnel and first responders to improve their well-being. WAVES is motivated by the spirit of the Invictus Games, and while some of our participants will strive to compete at national and international events, for the majority it is to harness the power of exercise and sport to inspire recovery and well-being. The program aims to assist participants with their physical, mental and psychosocial wellbeing goals and includes activities that also welcome family members. This global-first program provides participants with access to a range of wellbeing activities in the community as well as allied health services, including:

• baseline physiological testing and profiling
• training in state-of-the-art facilities
• support programs, and
• the expertise of UniSA’s leading health professionals and students.
