Hear from CEOs of Commonwealth Games Australia, Australian Olympic Committee, Australian Paralympic Committee and the Australian Sports Commission.

Education program
Invictus Games Sydney 2018 is creating long term social impact by educating the community as a whole about the nature of service and the role of the military, and promoting how to build resilience through an active and socially connected lifestyle. The program will be aimed at different sectors of the Australian community across generations including the education sector. We’re happy to have introduced their program to the Independent Schools sector through our partnerships with the Association of Independent Schools NSW and the Association of School Business Administrators.
Curtis McGrath partnership
Aon’s partnership with Invictus Games Sydney 2018 complements our partnership with Paralympic Games Gold Medallist Curtis McGrath OAM, an Invictus Games Sydney 2018 Ambassador. Curtis is focused on the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo, and we look forward to supporting his journey every step of the way. ‘On behalf of the Invictus Games Sydney 2018, I’d like to thank Aon for their vision and commitment to supporting our servicemen and women. The Invictus Games are such an important event for those recovering from injury’ (Curtis McGrath). See announcement.
