Adam Mitchell

Meet our VIP13 hero, Adam Mitchell. He served almost 12 years in the RAAF as a dog handler.

A new leash on life

Adam rediscovered his purpose after leaving the Air Force returning to study psychology at USC on the Sunshine Coast, thanks to a RSL Scholarship.

“In the Defence Force, we do have a very clear sense of purpose. We have missions and directives that we must follow. Transitioning into the civilian life, that goes away very quickly, but I’ve found that through the study, I’ve been able to find that purpose again, that drive to better myself,” Adam says.

Man’s Best Friend

Adam’s found much-needed support from RSL Queensland and his retired military working dog, Fod. When she passed away at the end of 2020, a permanent memorial at his RSL Sub Branch gave him the closure he needed.

“They accepted my request to have a memorial for her and it meant the world to me that she would have a permanent place of remembrance.”
