The Battle Initiative Ltd.
The Battle Initiative is an organisation run by and for veterans, service personnel, first responders and their families. We teach our Warriors struggling with post-traumatic stress and common challenges how to be over-comers and build a lasting legacy.
Many of our Warriors are unable to reintegrate back into civilian life, leaving their families to deal with the aftermath of broken homes and suicide at times. By aligning their lives to Biblical principles, these Warriors are able to lead their families, their communities and our great nation.
Our mission is to serve and restore our Nation’s Warriors, emergency & first responders and their families, who have endured hardship through their service to Australia, and to help them find their value and a new life purpose through peer-led lived experiences of hope in Christ on our resiliency and peer-to-peer recovery programs.
Project Summary
Our five-day intensive peer-to-peer program serves as the catalyst to help Warriors in our veterans, active service personnel and first responder communities and their spouses, discover the answers to the big questions in life.
Challenges related to the struggles of daily military life, combat deployments and the symptoms of post-traumatic stress (PTS) surface during these five days. (Spouses are on separate courses).
Along with the legacy program, we continue on for 18 months of aftercare for each participant to see they have the support they need to implement their goals set whilst building their legacy plans on course.

We run these courses with the mission to save lives, prosper lives and build eternal legacies.

- Higher engagements in activities that bring positive community impact.
- Healthier families and relationships with S.M.A.R.T. goals set for participants' future.
