The Korea Veterans Association of Australia Inc. (KVAA) is dedicated to honouring the service and sacrifice of all those who served in the Korean War. Our purpose is built on a deep sense of respect, responsibility, and remembrance — ensuring that the legacy of our veterans is preserved and supported for generations to come.
We are committed to advocating for the welfare of our members — veterans, widows, and their families. Whether it’s through social support, community connection, or practical assistance, we strive to ensure that no one feels forgotten. Their wellbeing is, and always will be, at the heart of what we do.
Navigating the system of pensions, entitlements, and support services can be overwhelming. That’s why we offer informed guidance and advocacy to help our members access the benefits they are entitled to. Our support is personal, compassionate, and focused on making sure no one falls through the cracks.
Too often referred to as “The Forgotten War”, the Korean War deserves greater recognition. We actively work to educate the wider public about Australia’s contribution — sharing stories, preserving history, and ensuring that the courage and sacrifice of our veterans are never overlooked.
Bringing people together to remember, reflect, and reconnect is central to our mission. Through reunions, memorial services, and commemorative events — including the annual June 25 observance — we honour those who served, remember those who were lost, and continue to uphold the spirit of camaraderie that defines our community.
If you’re a Korean War veteran, widow, or family member in need of assistance, you are not alone. Whether you need help with pensions, benefits, or simply someone to talk to, we are here for you. Please get in touch with our Secretary to find out how we can support you or your loved ones.
