Unisa WAVES Invictus Pathways Program

Unisa WAVES Invictus Pathways Program Formerly Invictus Pathways Program, renamed WAVES in 2024.

A student delivered wellbeing program for current/former serving ADF & First Responders to help them achieve their physical, mental and psychosocial wellbeing goals. Formerly the Invictus Pathways Program, the program was renamed WAVES in 2024 to better reflect the overall goals of the program and all of its components. WAVES, jointly founded by The Hospital Research Foundation and UniSA, focusses

on the use of sport, exercise and participation in community adaptive sports to assist serving and veteran defence force personnel and first responders to improve their well-being. WAVES is motivated by the spirit of the Invictus Games, and while some of our participants will strive to compete at national and international events, for the majority it is to harness the power of exercise and sport to inspire recovery and well-being. The program aims to assist participants with their physical, mental and psychosocial wellbeing goals and includes activities that also welcome family members. This global-first program provides participants with access to a range of wellbeing activities in the community as well as allied health services, including:

• baseline physiological testing and profiling
• training in state-of-the-art facilities
• support programs, and
• the expertise of UniSA’s leading health professionals and students.

About The Invictus Pathways Program

The Invictus Pathways Program (IPP) is a wellbeing program to assist current serving & former serving Australian Defence Force personnel, first responders who have physical, emotional and/or psychological conditions often suffered as a result of traumatic events.

The Invictus Games, founded by Prince Harry, bring together a unique band of international competitors to inspire understanding and respect for returned service men and women through the power of sport. The Invictus Games are about much more than just sport - they capture hearts, challenge minds and change lives, while shining a spotlight on the ‘unconquerable’ character of service men and women, their families and their ‘Invictus’ spirit.

The IPP is motivated by the spirit of the Invictus Games to harness the power of exercise and sport to inspire recovery and wellbeing. The program includes activities that welcome the family members of participants also.

The IPP is about using sport and exercise and participating in community adaptive sports to achieve life goals.
