Paul Broadbridge has made a lasting contribution to Australia’s defence and veteran community through his leadership of an organisation that forges meaningful connections between the defence and business sectors.
Paul is the driving force behind Australian Partners of Defence (APOD), founded by his fiancée, Rebecca Waller, who tragically passed away from cancer. Together they envisioned an organisation that supports defence personnel, veterans and their families throughout service life and in their transition to civilian life, ensuring they get the recognition they deserve.
Paul continues this legacy by connecting defence families with the wider community to improve their lives. Today, more than 195,000 members nationwide use APOD to access everyday savings, career opportunities and wellbeing support.
Paul leads APOD with empathy, dedication and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life, helping individuals while improving the support systems around them.
