Bill Woods is joined by Tom Bailey, founder of Veteran Benefits Australia, who have created a service providers list to help our Aussie veterans better understand the services that they’re entitled to.  The list comprises of the top ten most popular services from physiotherapy to online mental health programs.

If the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide has taught us anything, it’s that support is vital year-round for veterans.

Remarkably, the 2021 Australian Census was the first year to ask questions about service in the Australian Defence Force (ADF). The data reveals that there were 496,300 people who previously served in the ADF, which makes up 2.4% of the population aged 15 years and over.

Two-thirds (67%) veterans are supported by the Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA)2 and possess a DVA Gold or White Card, yet understanding entitlements, how to access services, and learning about differences or restrictions in entitlements can be difficult and cumbersome.

On Remembrance Day (11 November), Veteran Benefits Australia is encouraging Aussies to share their new service providers list to help create more awareness in the veteran community. Aussies can find more information by visiting www.veteranbenefitsaustralia.com
