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 at mid-2023 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.
​
Available spaces - access between 0730h to 2200h, 7 days.
