Courage and Compassion: The History of the TPI Veterans’ Association of NSW 1935–2025

Posted on by
As part of the 2022 TPI Veterans’ NSW Strategic Plan, the history book project was created to record and honour the proud legacy of our Association. Next week, that vision comes to life with the launch of Courage and Compassion: The History of the TPI Veterans’ Association of NSW 1935–2025, authored by Allison O’Sullivan and championed by Board Member John Hoban.
Today, we were delighted to welcome Allison to the office to sign copies for our special guests attending the launch. Member copies will be sent by post next month.
TPI Veterans NSW warmly thanks our members, and everyone involved in bringing this ambitious and meaningful project to fruition, ensuring our history is preserved and shared for generations to come.

Nowra Branch Visit – Community, Recognition and Future Planning

Posted on by

This week, Board Member Phil Hurren, TPI NSW CEO Jenny Jane Carpenter, and Wellbeing Facilitator Vanessa Campbell (Sydney Office) travelled to Nowra to meet with members of the TPI Veterans NSW Nowra Social and Welfare Club.
While in Nowra, Jenny Jane had the pleasure of presenting a certificate of recognition to TPI member Leanne Wehmeier, acknowledging her outstanding contribution to growing both the local club and broader organisation membership. The Nowra Club and TPI Head Office greatly appreciate Leanne’s dedication and efforts toward this important goal.
Phil was also on hand to talk members through the recommended updates to the TPI Veterans NSW Constitution, along with plans focused on ensuring long term growth, stability, and sustainability of the organisation’s support network into the future.
As always, the Nowra Social Club was welcoming. Together, we enjoyed a sausage sizzle and a chance to catch up with both long standing and new members in a relaxed and friendly setting.
Thanks Nowra – we look forward to returning soon.
Kind regards,
Vanessa Campbell
