Open Door Initiative
Improving the wellbeing of veterans and public safety personnel and their families
Our research
From helping to understand and navigate the transition to civilian life, to supporting families through challenging times, Open Door has a holistic approach, balancing the biological, psychological and social elements of wellbeing to tackling real-world problems and delivering evidence to drive impact.
We work together with those who have lived-experience to reframe the narrative, ensuring service personnel across the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and public safety agencies are not defined by mental and physical health challenges.
