CAMP SMEAC
REAL PROBLEMS, REAL PEOPLE AND REAL SOLUTIONS, SMEAC VETERANS HELPING VETERANS
Welcome to Camp SMEAC – a hidden sanctuary nestled in the stunning Sunshine Coast hinterland, where towering gums meet tranquil lakes and the only sounds are birdsong, laughter, and the crackle of the fire. Surrounded by nature’s calm and Queensland’s rugged beauty, Camp SMEAC is more than a retreat – it’s a reset. Here, veterans find space to breathe, reconnect, and rediscover purpose. With open skies above, trails beneath your boots, and mateship all around, Camp SMEAC is where healing begins and new chapters are written.

What Makes SMEAC Different?
Many veteran organisations provide only referrals or distant advice – with little to no hands-on support. SMEAC was forged from a different mould. Our structured, veteran-led approach delivers personalised, practical, and comprehensive care.
Camp SMEAC operates like a triage hub – providing real-time support, soft landings, and warm handovers between services, so no veteran is ever left without the help they need.

At SMEAC, we are committed to providing comprehensive support services, training, and employment opportunities for veterans and their families. Our mission is to promote healthy, active, and socially connected veterans by delivering real, hands-on solutions aimed at reducing veteran suicide.
Our goal is to create a lasting, positive impact on the lives of veterans—and the broader community they belong to.
WHY DONATE
When you donate to SMEAC, you’re not just giving – you’re stepping in when it matters most. Your support goes directly to Australian veterans who are struggling with the realities of life after service – battling isolation, mental health challenges, and the loss of purpose.
SMEAC is entirely volunteer-run, so every dollar you give goes straight to the frontline—funding vital programs, emergency accommodation, and the ongoing operation of Camp SMEAC, a sanctuary built for healing, reconnection, and renewal.
SMEAC is more than just a charity – it’s a commitment to those who served. Your donation delivers real solutions, creates meaningful change, and helps veterans reclaim their future.
Give today – because no veteran should ever be left to fight alone.
STRAIGHT TO SMEAC MERCH
ENGAGEMENT MODEL
When veterans seek help, they often don’t know where to start. SMEAC transforms uncertainty into action by identifying the veteran’s most urgent need and making it the mission—while also addressing broader wellbeing.
From employment and entitlements to mental health and family support, SMEAC offers structured, personalised guidance to help veterans take ownership of their journey and build a better future.
WELLBEING COACH
The role of the Wellbeing Coach is to educate, guide, and empower veterans to take ownership of their journey—supporting them to navigate the DVA process and broader life challenges with confidence and independence.
Mobile Overwatch
SMEAC will extend its regional reach through mobile teams based in or deployed to remote areas—providing localised overwatch and ensuring that veterans in isolated communities receive consistent, face-to-face support when and where it’s needed most.
Rapid Response
SMEAC deploys teams of veterans to support fellow veterans in need and families in crisis—delivering timely, practical help grounded in trust, shared experience, and solidarity. These teams provide more than just assistance; they offer reassurance, peer connection, and a reminder that no one has to face hardship alone. This model strengthens purpose, reinforces community, and ensures help arrives when it’s needed most.
