SWV Ltd (trading as Saltwater Veterans Sailing Project) is a registered Health Promotion Charity with Deductible Gift Recipient status under the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC).

The SVSP has as its mission to promote the prevention and control of physical illnesses (including, but not limited to, physical injury, obesity and ill health) and mental illnesses (including, but not limited to Post Traumatic Stress (PTS), anxiety, depression and social isolation) experienced by Veterans.

Our aim is to:

1. Implement and provide targeted support services and programs, including social connection and inclusion opportunities for Veterans who are experiencing, or are at risk of, isolation and physical and mental illness, by principally offering inclusive sailing and other water based sporting programs and activities; 
2. Encourage Veterans to be physically and mentally active to overcome feelings of isolation and physical and mental illness; 
3. Support the social integration of Veterans through the provision of social, sporting and recreational opportunities; 
4. Generate conversation surrounding the prevention of isolation and physical and mental illness experienced by Veterans, as well as to eliminate any stigma surrounding the open discussion of these issues; 
5. Provide skill development pathway programs to assist Veterans to rebuild self- sufficiency, leadership skills and connection with community; 
6. Create a broad network of support for Veterans through collaboration with other mission aligned organisations supporting Veterans; and 
7. Provide a platform and conduit for health professionals and service providers to deliver health promotion and preventative health strategies to improve the health, resilience and quality of life of Veterans.
