Veterans Grappling Foundation Limited
Veterans Grappling Foundation Limited is an Australian nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting current and former members of the Australian Defence Force (ADF), allied military personnel, and first responders, including police, ambulance, and firefighters. The foundation focuses on improving the physical and mental well-being of veterans and first responders through combat sports and wellness programs.
History and Mission
Established in 2019 by ADF combat veteran Scott Steer, Veterans Grappling Foundation was created with the vision of enhancing the lives of those who have served in military and emergency services roles. The organization provides a unique platform combining physical activity with mental health support, tailored specifically for veterans and first responders.
Programs and Activities
The foundation offers a range of combat sports and wellness sessions designed to promote physical fitness, resilience, and mental health recovery. Key activities include:
-
Judo: A Japanese martial art that emphasizes using an opponent's weight and strength against them, focusing on balance, coordination, and confidence through techniques such as throwing, pinning, arm locks, and choking maneuvers. Judo is referred to as "The gentle way," highlighting its reliance on skill over brute strength, allowing smaller participants to compete effectively.
-
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ): A combat sport focusing on ground fighting and submission holds, complementing the physical and therapeutic goals of the foundation's programs.
These activities serve not only as physical training but also as mental wellness tools, helping participants build confidence, camaraderie, and coping strategies for post-service life.
Recognition and Structure
Veterans Grappling Foundation Limited is recognized as a charity by the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). It operates as a third-party certifier promoting the recognition of Australian Defence Force veteran-owned and operated businesses, distinguishing itself as the only organization of its kind in Australia.
Impact
The foundation is committed to honoring the memories of those who served and sacrificed for their country while providing active support to living veterans and first responders. By integrating physical combat training with mental health support, Veterans Grappling Foundation addresses the holistic needs of its community, contributing to improved wellness and quality of life.

📢 URGENT CALL FOR HELP – LAND NEEDED IN MOLENDINAR 🛑 We recently lost our former training venue just a few months ago, and now we’re at risk of losing the donated 12x12m facility that was meant to help us rebuild. The Veterans Grappling Foundation—a DGR-registered charity—has been gifted a fully equipped, disability-accessible building to support veterans, first responders, and service personnel through Judo and other martial arts. These sessions are proven tools for mental health recovery, trauma resilience, and social connection. But without land to place this facility, we can’t move forward. We urgently need a small parcel of land in the Molendinar region (QLD) to install the shed. If we don’t secure a site within two weeks, we could lose the facility altogether. 🙏 If you know a local landowner, developer, business, or community group that can help—please reach out. 💥 This isn’t just a building—it’s a lifeline for those who’ve served. 📩 Contact Scott at scott@veteransgrappling.org.au 🌐 Learn more: www.veteransgrappling.org.au 🫶 Please share this, tag someone who might be able to assist, or DM us. #VeteransSupport #MentalHealthMatters #GrapplingForGood #GoldCoast #Molendinar #DonateLand #VeteransGrappling #CharityAppeal #SupportOurVeterans #SaveOurFacility (fb)
