Luke Damon
Veteran, Executive & Lived Experience Advocate
Luke Damon is a veteran, executive and lived experience advocate who brings a unique perspective shaped by service in Australia’s Special Forces, senior leadership in financial services, and a profound recovery journey through psilocybin-assisted therapy. After enduring combat loss, moral injury, and complex PTSD, Luke became the first veteran in Australia to legally access psychedelic treatment outside a trial, an experience that was profoundly transformative. Today he shares his journey to highlight the importance of connection, culture, and leadership in frontline mental health, and advocates for safe, ethical, trauma-informed approaches to healing and post-traumatic growth.
