Veteran News & Events
National Pain Week - 2023
Provocatus supports National Pain Week (24 - 30 July). It's about recognising the toll that chronic pain can have on those closest to us. Paul Warren knows about pain. The Afghanistan veteran and Veteran Access Scheme ambassador lost his right leg in 2009 when an improvised explosive device detonated during a patrol in Uruzgan Province's Baluchi Valley. He turned to plant based medicine to assist with nerve pain and improve his sleep.
Giving Back to the Veteran Community
In line with our commitment to support the veteran community, in November 2022 Provocatus provided financial sponsorship to a current serving member of the Special Operations Engineering Regiment (SOER) who was selected to accompany members from the Tunnel Rats Association during their annual tour of Vietnam. The trip included a remembrance ceremony to honor 35 fallen Tunnel Rat soldiers at the site of the former 1 Field Squadron HQ area in Nui Dat, Vietnam.
Veterans’ Health Week 2022
To coincide with Veterans’ Health Week 2022, Provocatus has teamed up with Coal Coast Fitness and will be sponsoring a sunrise yoga session and morning coffee for veterans located in the Illawarra region.
