The ACT Government honours and respects those who have served our country through the Australian Defence Force. Strengthening the participation of our veterans, their feeling of belonging, and recognition of their skills and service is an important part of building an inclusive Canberra community.
The 2018 Budget will boost the visibility and recognition of veterans by:
- Delivering a dedicated Veterans Grants funding program to boost services and support programs for veterans and their families in the ACT.
- Growing resources for the Office for Veterans and Seniors, and delivering an ACT Public Service employment program for veterans. The Office will provide support for veterans, in particular those transitioning out of the defence forces, by linking them and their families with opportunities in the ACT community.
