WVNA Events

Life after service gets busy. The weeks turn into months, and the connection you used to take for granted just disappears. WVNA catch-ups exist to fix that real, relaxed get-togethers for women who’ve served, every month across Australia.

Regular Monthly Catch Ups

Every month, women veterans across Australia get together no agenda, no formality, just connection.

Lunches & Brunches

Coffee Mornings

Activity Days

High Teas

Special Guest Afternoons

Commemorative & Special Events

Beyond monthly catch ups, WVNA marks the moments that matter for women who served.

ANZAC Day

Every April, WVNA coordinates ANZAC Day gatherings across Australia – because women who served deserve to be seen and honoured alongside their fellow veterans. Check Facebook and Instagram for location details each year.

Veterans Health Week

Every October, WVNA runs events focused on the health and wellbeing of women veterans – covering physical health, mental wellbeing, and peer connection. Events held in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Watch this page for 2026 details.

Last Post Ceremonies

WVNA supports women veterans in attending Last Post Ceremonies across Australia, including Canberra and regional locations – meaningful moments that recognise women veterans past and present.
