Villy - Leadership and Support

The core purpose of Villy is to create a village or community and recreate the protective factors employment in the ADF offers, but within the broader Australian society. It’s a safe place to both offer and ask for help, removing the stoicism around doing everything yourself.

An extra set of hands, eyes, ears is just a click away. We’ve gathered a strong network to help our village thrive. If you need assistance across a range of daily life tasks through to mental health support we’ve got you covered. Discover a whole new world that’s just at your fingertips.

At Villy, we create the framework to foster community connections, normalising support, and re-creating purpose. Our focus is on closing the gaps between Government policy, allied health supports and the lived experience of modern-day family life.

Villy also focuses on supporting our Defence families acknowledging the unique and isolating challenges they often face. We support both veterans and Defence families to grow organically and foster a pay-it-forward mind-set.
