Proudly Providing:
Assistance Dog programs for Veterans & First Responders.

Young Diggers provides services and programs to assist those who serve and have served in the Australian Defence Force, First Responders and their families.

Together we heal

Too many serving and ex-serving personnel and their families have difficulties coping with the stresses and fall-out of serving. Our purpose is to provide you with the help you need.

Our motto is ‘It’s about YOU’. It is important to recognise you are and always will be a valued member of our community, irrespective of your injuries and experiences you have endured. We are completely committed to providing exceptional help and advice.
