Dave Cox a former soldier in the Australian Army and a passionate songwriter was inspired by the

transformative power of music. During visits to the USA he met the Guitars For Veterans Team and was deeply moved by their mission to help veterans experiencing the challenge of PTSD and physical injuries. So in 2017 Dave established Guitars for Veterans Australia (G4VA) driven by a heartfelt desire to bring this program and the healing powers of music to Australia. Studies by Deakin University have shown that music therapy can reduce the effects of PTSD by up to 38% making it a powerful drug free approach to veterans’ mental health care.

Dave leads a team of volunteers across Australia, many who are veterans. They co-ordinate, teach and fundraise whilst sharing the healing power of music. Many musicians serve as ambassadors, spreading awareness of music as therapy through their performances. The new Album “Second Tour” and previous Where Words Fail” feature original and thought provoking music by veterans and also greats like Normie Rowe and Russell Morris.
