The Veteran Games and Conference App is a new communications initiative designed to better connect our community and support you throughout the year after your time at the Games.

The Digital Platform
Mobile App
Downloadable to Android or iOS, you will need an VG Group Code to register. You can search for and connect with old friends and members local to you, plus you can join a range of VG groups, as well as wider social, career, wellbeing or interest groups that are supported with event and chat functions. We have a full-time help desk to assist you if you have any problems help@militaryapp.org
Web-App
For those that might struggle using a smartphone or simply prefer to work from a larger laptop or home computer, we have a web-app version of the app that uses the same login details and operates from the same back-end system. If you are a group admin or are posting content regularly, the web-app may help make that process more efficient.
