NSW Veterans Strategy
The NSW Veterans Strategy 2025–2030
The NSW Veterans Strategy 2025–2030 sets out a whole-of-government and whole-of-community approach to support and acknowledge the important contribution veterans and their families make across NSW.
Building on the inaugural Veterans Strategy released in 2021, the Veterans Strategy 2025–2030 outlines the focus NSW will take to support veterans and their families over the next six years (to December 2030), incorporating recommendations of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide.
It is a framed around four themes:
- Recognition and Commemoration
- Employment and Training
- Advocacy and Community Engagement
- Support
New actions include:
- The development of a Corrective Services NSW Veterans Strategy to better support both inmates and staff who have served in the ADF.
- A flexible policy that allows the children of veterans and serving personnel to enrol in a public school without a fixed address.
- The development of new resources to assist the partners of veterans find employment.
- New resources to support veterans and their families who are affected by gambling harm.
- The NSW Office of Veterans Affairs is partnering with RSL NSW and Monash University on an important research project aimed at improving support services for women veterans in NSW.
