Amazing, welcoming and safe!
I just wanted to let you and all the team at Oasis know how amazing you are! You have created such a welcoming and safe space. I was so grateful to have somewhere to go when work or the stress of transition we’re getting too much. Just to be able to sit at Dirty Boots and grab a coffee and chat to Indie or find a couch inside in the quiet to reset and take a breath made a huge difference. Thank you so much!

VBA is a great help for business and veterans
The help the other members from VBA have given me, getting us in and keeping us busy, has directly gone back into hiring more veterans. Just wanted to let you know. I really really really appreciate it.

A huge part of getting me out of the house
The sewing and craft group has been a huge part of getting me out of the house and to meet some lovely supportive ladies. It was actually the only thing I left the house for other than appointments. I have not been able to make it as often this year due to anxiety and then being in a group at TPC which finishes in a week. I’m looking forward to connecting with the ladies again.

Genuine Social Interaction
A great experience, fantastic opportunity to meet and talk with members of the defence community.
I think the shared experience on board the boat and under the water, without the distraction of technology really helps break down barriers and allows people to really get to know each other. It was great opportunity for some genuine social interaction.

Moved back to Townsville for The Oasis
I transitioned from the Army late last year and had heard some great things about Oasis Townsville. I served a few years in Townsville and love the place so decided to come back to where veterans are appreciated and supported. Thanks, Oasis.

Employment is king!
The Oasis have also been pivotal in helping him to become employed through their employment coordinator who has not only been looking out for work for my husband, but my son too as an apprentice. Both have been successfully employed in ongoing and well paid employment since October 2021.
