Thrive and Laugh - A Community Night Supporting First Responders and Defence

A meaningful night with plenty of hearts, smarts and laughs.

Join Buddy Up Australia for a community night built around connection, wellbeing and the power of laughter. Whether you serve, have served, support someone who does, or simply believe in stronger, more connected communities, this event is an opportunity to come together, share a meal, a laugh and leave with practical tools for looking after yourself and others.

With insights from Buddy Up CEO Craig Heslop and a powerful Laughter Clinic presentation from Mark McConville, the night will remind us that thriving is easier when we stay connected, and sometimes, a good laugh is exactly where that starts.

Buddy Up Australia is a community for current and ex-serving Defence members, First Responders and their families.
