Respect
To respect the contributions made by participants in modern operations and demonstrate this by appointing younger veterans to representational positions and giving them ownership.
Connect
To connect all stakeholders through services that are purpose built to give professional represent all who do not feel they have a voice locally or nationally, and to disseminate issues and information.
Engage
To engage with like minded veterans and veteran community organistions because together we can pool our resources and give a greater representation of veterans to the Commonwealth.
Current Primary Focus
Our current primary focus is working with DVA senior public servants to improve the way DVA operates with our community, and our community with DVA. This is imporoving due to support from the highest levels in DVA.
We are concurrently providing advice to the DVA General Counsel in relation to establishing governance within advocacy.
Our next 12-week sprint will be to partner with an external provider to define a system that enables Ex-Service Organisations to evaluate their governance abilities and pinpoint areas of improvement.
Our Point of Difference
We believe that the veteran community deserves a unified voice to bring about positive change because the ways of the past are now irrelevant.
We provide all members of the veteran and veteran family community with a single trusted source of truth. We take your concerns, unfiltered, to the Commonwealth, and we represent you.
Our unwavering commitment is to ensure that no veteran or their family feels underrepresented or isolated.
WELLBEING SUPPORT
We support the needs of all veterans and veteran family members, not only peacekeepers, but all veterans.
If for any reason you need well-being, advocacy or compensation assistance, we work within a national network of advocates which gives us more coverage and flexibility to assist you and the entry point is the Australian Veteran Health Services.

COMMEMORATIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE CALENDAR
National Register of Veteran and Veteran Family Issues
The Veteran Sentiment Index (VSI) is a valuable tool that captures the collective sentiment of veterans and their families regarding their relationship with DVA.
By regularly collecting and analyzing this data, we can track changes in sentiment over time, identify trends, and make informed decisions to better serve the veteran community. The ultimate goal is to use this feedback to improve and enhance the services we provide, ensuring we meet the needs and expectations of the veterans and their families.
National Register of Advocate Issues
The national register of wellbeing support officers' and advocates' issues are raised by all affiliate organisations we work with. We pass the issues on to advocate regional managers and then work with DVA to follow their progress until they are resolved.
It is important that these issues are transparent because that promotes accountability and visibility across the veteran and veteran family community.
