More evidence of lacking support for struggling defence force veterans and their families is due to be presented to a royal commission underway in Canberra.
A royal commission into defence and veteran suicide will launch its latest series of hearings in Canberra just a short distance from the Australian War Memorial which pays tribute to military members who have lost their lives.
This year for the first time since 2019, the Australian War Memorial will welcome a full Veterans’ March on Anzac Day, Monday 25 April, the 107th anniversary of the landings at Gallipoli.
This International Women’s Day, Wednesday 8 March, Mates4Mates is encouraging the female veteran community to reach out for support if they have been impacted by their service.
While veteran issues are often seen as a male-centric issue, Mates4Mates says it’s important that female veterans impacted by service feel seen and heard.
Soldier On is calling on Australians to get involved in the ‘March On’ challenge, and walk 96km during the month of March to support the veteran community.
