Veterans strategy out for comment
VETERANS and their families, communities, and organisations are being encouraged to help shape Queensland’s first veterans’ strategy.
The Queensland Veterans’ and Veterans’ Families’ Strategy aims to deliver the best possible services and supports for people who have served in defence forces.
An online survey is now open to all Queenslanders until 14 November.
Individuals are also encouraged to register their interest for in-person consultation, which will take place in 11 locations across the state over the coming months.
Premier and Minister for Veterans David Crisafulli said the strategy would strengthen outcomes for veterans and their families.
“We want to hear about the issues faced by veterans, their families, and their communities including transitioning to civilian life, employment opportunities, and health and wellbeing, so we can improve their experience during and after service,” he said.
“Veterans have a positive role to play in community life and bring a unique outlook and knowledge, which is why we want them to provide input into the strategy.
“We are working with veterans to protect the legacy of those who have served and to shape outcomes for the future, and our message is simple – your voice matters.”
