A welcoming and supportive space for Veterans and their families
If you’re a current or former Australian Defence Force (ADF) member, including reservists, or a family member, carer, or someone supporting a veteran, you’re welcome at the Hub.
The Hub is your go‑to spot for a cuppa and a chat, wellbeing support, or simply a friendly place to connect. Our team really gets military life, and we’ve created a relaxed, welcoming space with practical help whenever you need it. So whether you’re reflecting on your service, finding your feet in civilian life, or caring for a loved one, we’re here to make sure you’ve got the right support at the right time.
The Veterans’ and Families’ Wellbeing Hub in Adelaide is operated by Lives Lived Well and funded by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. You’ll find us on Level 3 at The Playford Health Hub, 44–46 John Rice Ave, Elizabeth Vale. It’s an easy-to-reach spot with good access, plenty of health services nearby and close to other supports, a great fit for veterans and their families!
More information about the Hub
All veterans, their families, and those currently, or looking to, work within service provision to veterans, are invited to come make our space their own.
Visit our social connections space, where you will be able to sit and relax, have a chat over a coffee, play games or music, read, and make use of our kitchen. The Hub is a family friendly space designed for people of any age to access. It’s also used for appointments, education or training sessions.
The Hub is open to all current and former serving ADF members, including reservists, plus their families or carers, and those looking to support veterans. At Lives Lived Well, we embrace an inclusive definition of families, meaning that ‘families’ formed through friendships and choice are just as welcome as those formed through birth.
You can drop in anytime during opening hours, give us a call or send an email. You don’t need a referral to use the Hub, but if you’d like to send us more information prior to your visit, you can do so here.
