Pro Patria Centre is a multidisciplinary wellbeing hub in Wagga Wagga dedicated to supporting veterans, first responders, and their families. Based in a peaceful former monastery, the Centre focuses on building self-agency, restoring wellbeing, and strengthening social connection for those who have served their community. With strong ties to the region’s Defence and emergency services population, and guided by leaders from military, first responder, business and community sectors, PPC delivers programs aligned with national wellbeing strategies. Offering support, education, and family-focused services that complement existing ESOs, the Centre’s mission is to help veterans and first responders — and their families — connect, thrive, and navigate life beyond service with purpose and resilience.
