Wounded, Injured and Ill Digger
Army continues to learn from our experience of managing wounded, injured and ill soldiers, evolving this framework as the Army Support to Wounded, Injured and Ill Program (SWIIP).
ADF Arts for Recovery, Resilience, Teamwork and Skills ProgramThe ADF Arts for Recovery, Resilience, Teamwork and Skills Program (ARRTS) offers a supportive learning environment to assist personnel in their individual recovery. Members continuing in service and those who may shortly transition to civilian life will benefit from participation.
Support tools and organisationsThere are a number of organisations and online tools that are available to assist wounded, injured and ill Army members and their families.
Soldier Recovery CentresArmy's Soldier Recovery Centres provide commanders with additional resources to manage complex cases and/or members undertaking extended rehabilitation or transition.
Army Support to Wounded Injured and Ill ProgramThe Army Support to Wounded Injured and Ill Program (A-SWIIP) was established in 2008 to meet the needs of an increasing number of our wounded, injured and ill soldiers.
Australian Defence Force Rehabilitation ProgramThe Australian Defence Force Rehabilitation Program is a multi-disciplinary strategy aimed at maximising a member's potential for restoration to their pre-injury physical, occupational, social, psychological and educational status.
Mental health and wellbeingWounds and injuries are not limited to the physical. Mental health injuries such as anxiety, depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are also experienced by some of our service men and women.
Wounded, Injured and Ill Diggers' ForumThe Wounded, Injured and Ill Diggers' Forum provides an avenue for exchange of information and ideas between Army and its broader family. It enables wounded, injured and ill and their families to provide feedback on the key issues and concerns of members and families in the immediate aftermath of injury.
