Building the Legacy: Panel 2: The Value of Partnerships in the Community
“The IGF Conversation with Invictus Australia: Building the Legacy” marked the latest instalment of the Invictus Games Foundation’s ongoing IGF Conversation series. Designed to promote the exchange of best practice across the global Invictus Community, this series encourages open, informal dialogue between programme leaders, practitioners, and Invictus Games Alumni - including families - through virtual events and in-person gatherings. Its purpose is to spark shared learning and collaboration across the Movement without the formality of traditional presentations.
This edition explored how long-term, community-based recovery initiatives can grow from the Invictus Games, and for the first time was delivered live from the Sydney headquarters of Invictus Australia. It represented an important milestone as the Foundation continues to strengthen a truly global Invictus Movement.
The discussion examined how the momentum created during the Invictus Games Sydney 2018 evolved into a sustainable programme that now supports veterans and service personnel year-round. It highlighted how national interest, community connection, and the values of the Invictus Movement have combined to shape a lasting legacy that extends far beyond the Games themselves.
Panel 2: The Value of Partnerships in the Community
The second panel focused on how collaboration drives lasting impact for veterans and their families. Representatives from Invictus Australia and key community partners discussed how partnerships can extend far beyond Games-time sponsorships, creating tangible outcomes at a grassroots level. The conversation highlighted the ways organisations and businesses can support recovery programs, mentorship, and ongoing engagement, ensuring that the benefits of the Invictus Movement continue well beyond the Games.
