Our Indigenous Heroes - They Also Served
Welcome to our website, and we hope you like what you see. Our website is now live and the only one of its kind in Australia. It is exclusive for Indigenous men and women who have served or are serving. It is a place where the families can tell the stories of their Veteran’s service. Our job is then to match your information with the official service records and show what your veteran has done for their country.
We will be working behind the scenes indefinitely to find, acknowledge and recognise the Indigenous men and women who have served in the Defence forces of Australia.
We would like to thank the Commonwealth Bank Indigenous Unit for sponsoring the site and supporting us with great news articles with Qantas and Indigenous Business Review.
This site is your place of pride and recognition for all those who joined up and went to war, and those who served at home. From the Boer War in 1899 up until now, your families have given everything to serve their country. Let’s tell the world what they have done and what it was like for them and their families.
Our project is National, and we will reach out across the country to link up with the families of veterans across Australia and its Islands.
Help get this project out there by sharing with your mob and asking them to share with their friends and other mobs as well.
We will be posting regular news and keeping you informed about what we find in our research, and sharing some super stories with you. Heroes' Tales will focus on many Indigenous Veterans and their stories.
Be back soon, Zita - Team Leader,
