Piper Alderman is proud to support the 2026 ACES ANZAC Day Challenge, sponsoring the Australian Combined Emergency Services (ACES) team alongside our client and principal sponsor, Clarke Energy Australia. Together, we are helping to raise awareness of the critical importance of mental health and wellbeing support for emergency services personnel across fire, police, ambulance and corrections, both career and volunteer.
Emergency service members routinely face high pressure environments and are exposed to emotionally demanding situations and challenges. While resilience is a defining strength across these professions, stigma around mental health can still prevent individuals from seeking support when they need it most.
Taking place at Adelaide Oval on Saturday, 25 April 2026, the ANZAC Day Challenge brings together the ACES team to play against the Australian Defence Force All Stars to honour those who have served, including those who have lost their lives in the line of duty. The event also shines a spotlight on the shared experiences of emergency and military services, reinforcing the importance of mental wellbeing across both communities.
The campaign is supported by Military and Emergency Services Health Australia (MESHA) and aims to raise funds to deliver vital mental health and wellbeing programs, counselling services and workshops to emergency service personnel and their families nationally.
At Piper Alderman, we believe strong communities depend on the wellbeing of the people who protect them. As a first-time sponsor of the ACES ANZAC Day Challenge, we are proud to support an initiative that seeks to reduce stigma, encourage open conversations, and improve access to mental health support for emergency service members.
