  • 2. WAVES has three different streams of activities:

    Community Adaptive Sports Program (CASP): This program offers a suite of community adaptive sports opportunities. Activities range from short courses to ongoing opportunities such as access to the Next Generation gym facilities. The activities are typically group-based and via strong links to community sporting organisations, providing participants and their families with an opportunity to participate in positive, active community activities with other people from WAVES and members of the public. The activities act as a pathway for independent community involvement in the future.

  • Invictus Pathways Program (IPP) The Invictus Pathways Program involves participation in exercise training sessions at UniSA with an Exercise Science or Exercise Physiology student trainer. Participants can use this activity to work towards competition sports such as the competitive events (e.g. Invictus or Warrior Games, Masters or Police and Fire Games), achieve fitness goals that they might have, or simply improve general well-being. The IPP is run to benefit both participants and our students and as such requires a commitment of 2 x 1hr gym sessions per week in order to allow our students to reach their placement requirements.

  • The Heart Health Program is a 12 month group exercise program which consists of 2 x 1hr group exercise classes per week and 1 x 2hr educational session per month. The program is fully funded for eligible veterans and we do have the opportunity to add first responders into the groups if the numbers allow.
