23.01.2022 Serving in the ADF has unique demands, and all ex-ADF members have access to a comprehensive GP health assessment. You can get it done any time after you’ve left the ADF, but the sooner the better. For more information visit http://at-ease.dva.gov.au, or ask your GP.

18.01.2022 The first of the findings were presented at a scientific conference yesterday. The five presentations at the Australian Military Medicine Conference was a milestone in getting to share the results with the ADF military community. It was also an important opportunity to discuss with military health providers the implications. For the reports visit: https://www.dva.gov.au///transition-and-wellbeing-research

18.01.2022 Enlightening and robust discussion today with the Prime Minister's Advisory Council about the findings from our 5 year research study examining the mental, phys...ical and social health of current and ex-serving ADF members and their families. Great to be able to brief them on the key research findings. In particular: - The importance of monitoring the long term health of our veteran population across multiple domains - The significance of sub-syndromal mental health symptoms and anger as early markers of progression to later disorder - The need for the development of strategies for prevention, early intervention and access to care for ADF members transitioning to civilian life.

06.01.2022 This is the first time in Australia that families have been asked about their experiences at the same time as military personnel in a major cohort study. Five years of work but worth the journey. The Department of Veterans’ Affairs has now released the family wellbeing study looking at how military families were coping during the time while in service and in the years of transition to civilian life immediately afterward.
