      9 or 11-day experience disrupting veterans’ routines to take time to pause, learn about themselves and seize responsibility for a positive direction forward in life.

      Timor Awakening is a program centred around an 11-day immersion in Timor-Leste, creating a disruption from participants’ routine to take pause, learn about themselves and seize responsibility for a positive direction forward in life. Timor Awakening is available to Australian Veterans (and spouse or carer), from any state, with or without operational service. The aim of Timor Awakening is to prevent veteran suicide and improve the well-being of veterans and their families.

      Timor Awakening is available to Australian & New Zealand Veterans (and spouse or carer), with or without operational service. Participants provide each other with inspiration, practical tools, strategies and routines in overcoming trauma and re-establishing purposeful lives.
