"We are honoured our Founder and Patron has been recognised in the @TIME 100 Sports list. Thank you to TIME for shining a light on the work of the #InvictusGames Foundation and the extraordinary community behind it. Sport has the power to change lives and, in some cases, to save them. Through the work of the Invictus Games Foundation, wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans rediscover purpose, rebuild confidence and regain a sense of identity. What began as a belief in the power of sport has grown into a global movement, one that not only supports recovery, but creates community, belonging and hope. It proves every day that sport can restore meaning and, for some, be truly life‑saving. We are proud of this recognition, but most importantly, we are proud of the Invictus Community, whose resilience and determination inspire everything we do. time.com/collection/time100-…

The #InvictusGames Foundation welcomes the news of funding reinstatement for Invictus Australia. Our CEO Rob Owen OBE says, "Fantastic news on the decision to renew federal funding for Invictus Australia given the proven impact that sport and community have on veteran recovery, rehabilitation and suicide prevention. Through the work of Invictus Australia, and the wider global movement led by the Invictus Games Foundation, we have seen first-hand how sport can help wounded, injured and sick veterans rebuild confidence, restore purpose, strengthen family relationships and reconnect with their communities. We are delighted to see continued government support in Australia for this work."
