Our Story
Our non-profit organisation was formed in honour of Brad Hardy who was tragically lost on 6 March 2021.
Brad was a dedicated, young AFP officer who was committed to protect and serve his community. He always went out of his way to support those around him and was quoted as "one of the best. He wouldn't hesitate to give you the shirt off his back."

WHAT A NIGHT!
The Brad Hardy Foundation Country Night was held last Saturday night, and what a fantastic night it was! The Yarralumla Woolshed came alive with plenty of country spirit and laughter with the dance floor packed throughout the night, with guests dancing and boot scooting along to the fantastic tunes of Stewart Barton & Band. A very special thank you to the nights major sponsor, Ringers Western for their generous support. We are incredibly grateful to have such wonderful businesses getting behind our Foundation and our mission. Congratulations to everyone who took home one of the many fantastic prizes on the night, and a special congratulations to Leeanne Walls, the lucky winner of our Australian Open Raffle! Most importantly, the night brought our community together to raise much-needed funds to support Australian Federal Police officers experiencing mental health challenges, illness and injury.
EXCITING NEWS!
The Brad Hardy Foundation recently had the privilege of meeting with Commissioner Krissy Barrett. Commissioner Barrett was highly supportive of the work BHF is undertaking to support our officers and acknowledged the importance of prioritising the mental health and wellbeing of all Australian Federal Police members. During the meeting, BHF discussed the success of our wellness sessions, which have already supported over 100 AFP officers. The sessions have provide practical, evidence-based tools to help officers better understand stress, regulate their nervous systems and build resilience in both their professional and personal lives. Feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly positive, with officers expressing gratitude for the early intervention and support provided.
