The University of South Australia has signed a deal with the Australian Defence Force to provide sports training and physiotherapy for injured and disabled military veterans competing in international sports events.
The agreement will support ADF members taking part in adaptive sports trials such as selection for the Invictus Games and Warrior Games.
