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.

The NSW Veterans Strategy 2021-2024 

The NSW Government’s Veterans Strategy 2021–2024 and associated Action Plans provided the first whole of government and community framework for veterans and their families in NSW and nationally.

The Action Plans were delivered over two-year periods and progress reports were released at the end of each period. The reports provided a summary of the actions delivered and an update on continuing initiatives with a brief snapshot of the diversity of good work progressed across government during the period to recognise, assist, inform and support veterans and their families in NSW.

The inaugural Veterans Strategy 2021–2024, Action Plans and Progress Reports are available for download via the links below.
