In this episode of Coffee Conversations, Steve Healey is joined by Brendan Cox, CEO of Legacy Brisbane, for a candid discussion about service, family and the enduring impact of military life.

Drawing on his 26‑year Army career, Brendan shares personal insight into the sacrifices made not only by veterans, but by the families who support them, often long after service ends.

Brendan explores Legacy’s 100‑year mission to care for the partners and children of veterans who have lost their lives or health through service, and how the organisation is evolving to meet today’s challenges. From mental health and moral injury to Legacy’s new community‑based model of care, the conversation highlights why supporting veteran families is both a responsibility and an opportunity for the broader community.
