Hansen Yuncken: Supporting Navy Clearance Divers and Building Australia’s Defence Future

25 November, 2024

Hansen Yuncken was proud to support the Navy Clearance Diver Trust (NCDT), underscoring our commitment to supporting the wellbeing of Australia’s Defence community. As a trusted leader in Defence infrastructure delivery, this collaboration aligns seamlessly with Hansen Yuncken’s legacy of championing Defence personnel and delivering exceptional projects for the Australian Defence Force (ADF).

The NCDT, a vital organisation supporting current and former Navy Clearance Divers and their families, addresses the unique physical and mental challenges faced by these dedicated individuals. Funds raised at the recent NCDT marquee event in Sydney will contribute to critical programs that assist veterans in overcoming hardship and transitioning to civilian life. Hansen Yuncken is honoured to contribute to this meaningful cause, reinforcing our dedication to those who serve.
