FUNDRAISE FOR FORTEM AUSTRALIA
Fortem Australia is a not-for-profit organisation that supports first responder families. Our first responders protect and defend our communities, and their families and kinship groups support them to do so.
The work they do is vitally important, but it is also often confronting, traumatic and dangerous. We believe that first responders and their families deserve to be connected with the support they need now and into the future.
Fortem Australia aims to support first responder families to proactively look after their wellbeing and mental fitness. We focus on building mental fitness and boosting wellbeing through a range of evidence-based services and programs, including wellbeing activities, clinical services, online toolkit and resource library.
Your fundraising will help us extend our support to all first responder families. The funds raised will allow us to provide more support to first responders and their families in more areas.
Please note, if you are looking to make a donation to Fortem Australia, please find details on our Donate page.
Thank you for raising funds for Fortem Australia. With your help, we can support more first responder families around Australia.
