The Ballarat Veterans Assistance Centre (BVAC) was established in 2019 in Ballarat by the Military Brotherhood Military Motorcycle Club (MBMMC) Vic West sub-branch, with support from the TPI Association. Our mission is to support serving and ex-serving ADF members, veterans, their families, and their supporters, ensuring they receive the advocacy, welfare, and community connection they deserve.
Ballarat Veterans Assistance Centre (BVAC) provides practical, compassionate support to veterans and their families, helping them navigate challenges, access support, and rebuild confidence, purpose, and connection after service.
