Adavale Veterans Retreat Inc.
About
Adavale Veterans Retreat Inc. is an Australian charity that operates a respite center in Outback Queensland, specifically in Adavale, for Veterans, Ex-Service personnel, and First Responders. Its primary mission is to provide a serene environment for rest, relaxation, and recovery, particularly for those experiencing stress and PTSD.
Tips for Applicants
For individuals seeking accommodation at the retreat: booking is recommended. Accommodation is by donation, with a guide of $30.00 per night for Veterans, Ex-Service, and First Responders, and $50.00 for the public. Visitors should bring their own food and drinks, as the closest food shopping is in Quilpie (98km away), and fuel is not available in Adavale.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation operates as a 100% volunteer, not-for-profit association, ensuring that all funds from grants, sponsorships, gifts, and in-kind donations are directly expended on supporting service people and the ongoing projects at the retreat. No members, their families, or associates receive any financial payment.
