About APOD

APOD stands for Australian Partners of Defence - it is who we are, who we do business with and who we do it for, represented in the tri-service colours on our logo.

Run by veteran families, for veteran families.

APOD is an Australian owned and operated organisation founded by veteran families, for veteran families.

Since 2012, we have been working with businesses of all sizes to deliver exclusive offers to serving Australian Defence Force personnel, reservists, allied forces, veterans and their immediate family members.

We understand the sacrifices made in the name of service and have been committed for over 8 years to creating the bridge between businesses and the Australian defence community for those organisations that want to say thank you for your service.

APOD’s mission is to make providing benefits and recognition to our members simple and rewarding for businesses and to provide our members with easy access to local and national discount offers across all industries, not just travel and leisure.

Recognising those who serve.

APOD exists to recognise those who serve. We understand that when one person serves, their whole family serves.
