About

Tribe | Routine | Identity | Purpose

Swiss 8 is a health promotion charity, founded by combat veterans to build proactive mental health tools. Our focus is to be a positive agitator for change.

Our veterans have lived experience in dealing with disconnection, loss of identity, loss of purpose, anxiety and depression. We’re using this experience to create tools that assist everyone in building a healthy, high performing lifestyle.

These digital tools, certified courses and national events will help you connect with your Tribe, structure your life for success, create your new identity and find purpose in your existence.

They will make you, Better at Life.

Testimonials

"During my time in the Australian Defence Force, I served in Afghanistan with Swiss 8 Founders, Adrian Sutter and Anthony Meixner. As such, I can confidently say that this is one of the few organisations lead by Veterans who understand the core issues being addressed.
I am continuously impressed by the research focus Swiss 8 has adopted and will do everything in my power to ensure my colleagues in Canberra support Swiss 8."

PHILLIP THOMPSON
OAM MP, FEDERAL MEMBER FOR HERBERT

“Building a routine around fitness, nutrition, sleep and mindfulness is what allowed me to maintain and improve my mental health when I left the military.
Now, thanks to this app, the entire Veteran community will have access to these life saving tools.”

SHAUN KOBER
FORMER AUSTRALIAN ARMY SNIPER

“Swiss 8 stands to be a real game changer in supporting the mental health and wellbeing of our Veterans.
Evidence suggests that fitness, nutrition, sleep and mindfulness based stress reduction are the foundations for building mental health and wellbeing, reducing anxiety and depression."

FRANCIS LAMBKIN
CLINICAL RESEARCH PSYCHOLOGIST

“I am a Uni student struggling with depression and anxiety and with everything being online at the moment and not having any routine at all, this has really helped me."
