Introduction

​

Our Homebase for the Veteran Community in Townsville is purpose-built to conduct activities and events that connect veterans and families with each other and with the Townsville community. This is especially so for those who would otherwise find it difficult to access a location with other Veterans and those who understand the veteran community’s needs. We provide a range of activities, most free of charge.

​

Homebase is averaging over 1500 participants in connections programs each month. 

​

We have developed procedures that ensure we can optimise the use of Homebase and keep the overheads of managing it as simple as possible for users and our Team Oasis Members. 

​

It is important we appreciate the extent to which the veteran community is involved in your activity/event. Please make your veteran community involvement clear on the booking form.

​

Most of our spaces are available between 0730h to 2200h, 7 days, utilising a PIN code entry.

The Steps

​

The procedure is straightforward:

​

1. Booking a Hut. Complete the Hut Booking form. Be sure to read the Terms of Service. We need to know the degree to which the veteran community is impacted by your proposed activity so please give us as much as you can so we can prioritise bookings. ​

2. Payment. Our fees are noted by room above. When submitting your booking request form, please notify us if you would like to request a reduced rate, and one of our team members will be in contact to discuss a case-by-case basis arrangement. We'd expect that organisations that have an allocation for facilities, such as government organisations or those in receipt of grants, would offer what they can to support our operations. 

3. Once approved. A member of Team Oasis will be in touch. If payment has been agreed upon, an invoice will also be sent.

​

 

Thanks for considering the use of our Homebase for the Veteran Community. If you take us up, we hope it works well for you and helps strengthen the connections within and between the veteran community and the Townsville Community.
