About Us

The number one priority of the Zahal Disabled Veterans Organization (ZDVO) is to support the care and rehabilitation of Israel’s 75,000 injured veterans, victims of terror, and their families who are members of the four Beit Halochem (House of the Warriors) located in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa and Be’er Sheva. A much needed fifth centre in Ashdod is due for completion by May 2026. ZDVO is the only organisation in Israel legally responsible for the wellbeing of Israel’s wounded veterans.

At ZDVO Beit Halochem Australia, we pledge our ongoing support to Israel's 75,000 courageous, wounded veterans.

Funds raised in Australia are sent directly to Beit Halochem in Israel. The four rehabilitation and sports centres in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa and Be’er Sheva provide wounded veterans with the support and opportunities they need to regain the dignity and quality of life they deserve. The centres offer comfort and a sense of belonging to over 75,000 members of Beit Halochem, a number that continues to grow due to the thousands injured during Operation Iron Swords.

When newly injured veterans and victims of terror meet Beit Halochem members, they discover they are not alone; they have joined the Beit Halochem family that will care for them throughout their lives. Beit Halochem volunteers and fellow members are quick to reach out to the newly wounded and their families, providing vital comfort and support essential to their recovery. ZDVO Beit Halochem Australia stands alongside every Israeli veteran, helping them recover, reintegrate into society as productive members, and come to terms with their traumatic physical injuries and psychological scars that many will carry for the rest of their lives.

The Beit Halochem centres offer an array of exceptional rehabilitative services including physiotherapy and hydrotherapy, pilates, gym programs, specialized activities for members living with PTSD, wheelchair basketball and tennis, as well as a wide range of sport options, family-oriented and cultural activities.

With an emphasis on sport, many of the members go on to compete in international sporting events including the Paralympic Games. Notably, for the first time, Israel participated in the 2023 Invictus Games in Germany, where a significant majority of the Israeli delegation were members of Beit Halochem.

Giving them the help they need is our top priority!

Your support is allocated towards a wide range of programs and treatments as well as the purchase of much needed equipment for our brave wounded veterans at our four Beit Halochem rehabilitation centres.

"Beit Halochem gives me so much. It enables me to learn a lot about myself. There, I am surrounded by people just like me, disabled and wounded. It is so important to be in such a warm and embracing environment, where I am understood."

Menny Guy, member of Beit Halochem
