Scheyville Project

Preserving Scheyville’s military heritage

In line with our mission to preserve Australia’s rich military history, Taskforce Veteran is proud to be restoring the historical Scheyville Officer Training Unit in the Hawkesbury region of NSW.

Once completed, Scheyville will offer a safe space for veterans, their families, and the general Hawkesbury community to come together and learn about the region’s rich military history.

A tribute to service and sacrifice

The Scheyville Officer Training Unit was established in 1965 to train members of the Australian Defence Force for the Vietnam War. Following the Unit’s closure in 1974, however, it has largely remained unoccupied and unmaintained.

With the Scheyville Project, Taskforce Veteran aims to give new life to this historic site. Our vision is to create a thriving community hub that educates the public about the sacrifices of veterans while celebrating their role in shaping our nation into what it is today.

The restored Officer Training Unit will also be used as a dedicated space for Taskforce Veteran initiatives, providing opportunities for veterans to connect and seek support from the ex-serving community.
