This month at Trek House, some of our participants had the opportunity to meet Queensland Police Services' Deputy Commissioner for People and Assets, Mark Kelly and the Executive Director for Health, Safety and Wellbeing, Belinda Dryden.

We had a great time going for a walk with them as a group.

Thank you for your visit, Mark and Belinda!

🎉 We raised $40,000 to support veterans and frontline workers’ mental health!

A big thank you to everyone who was a part of our annual 2026 Midnight to Dawn ANZAC trek.

It was our second rainy year in a row, but that didn’t stop 71 brave, strong trekkers who walked 20 kilometres from Brisbane to Mt Cootha, finishing at the Gap’s dawn service. We stayed together as a group, supporting and encouraging each other, arriving at the dawn service as one. It was a fantastic way to honour the ANZAC spirit.

These funds raised will go directly to providing evidence based mental and physical health support for veterans, police, emergency services personnel, and their families. We walked to support those who support us every day.

Thank you to our donators and trekkers, making our important essential work possible.

If you’re interested in donating, you still can! Just follow the link below:

Today is ANZAC Day, a special day that pays tribute to the brave souls who have left a permanent mark on our nation's history.

We commemorate and remember the courage and selflessness of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.

Thank you to those who participated, helped out or donated to our 2026 Midnight to Dawn ANZAC Service Trek. Your dedication has helped us change the lives of our Trek2Health clients.

As we honour the ANZAC Day heroes, we also offer our support to the veterans and their families, who carry the legacy of sacrifice with grace and resilience through our mental health programs.

Today, and every day, we remember their sacrifice, their courage, and their enduring spirit.

Lest we forget.

Art can change lives and this painting is no different - it has brought people together and raised money towards Trek2Health’s mental health programs.

We would love to say a big thank you to artist Jess de Groot, Hilary, Colin, Rebecca and Katherine who were involved with this process.

Jess painted this piece of a soldier with his dog called “Thank You” for Art and Eats 2026 that sold - she then very generously donated the proceeds to Trek2Health, towards our complimentary mental health programs for first responders and veterans.

Colin and Kath organised a morning for everyone involved to gather, spend time together and speak about their stories. Kath said, “It was an amazing morning, meeting all those who helped make this sale happen and hearing each person's story and reason for coming together.”

Thank you to all involved.

You can find more of Jess’ work on her Instagram at .
