We Support Victorian Police Officers.
Protecting the Protectors exists to support Victoria Police officers, Protective Services Officers and veterans facing the ongoing impact of trauma and mental health challenges. Driven by real lived experience—from current serving members to a former Chief Commissioner—we understand the pressures of the job and the barriers to getting help.
We raise vital funds to provide access to specialised treatment through St John of God, along with life-changing support in partnership with Assistance Dogs Australia. Our goal is simple: remove financial barriers, break the stigma around mental health, and ensure those who serve our community are supported when they need it most.
