Four new appointments to the Tasmanian Veterans’ Advisory Council will bring a broad range of experience from around Tasmania and a shared vision to improve the lives of Tasmania’s veteran and ex-serving community.
The Council is made up of men and women with a diverse range of experience, from those who are currently serving, those who have served (including reservists), to family members, partners and legatees from many conflicts and peace keeping operations.
The Council is an important advisory and consultation mechanism for the Hodgman Liberal Government, particularly as Australia commemorates the Centenary of World War One.
It provides information and support on issues affecting our community, and encourages cooperation across all veterans’ organisations in Tasmania.
The Council also provides a forum for the serving and ex-serving members of the Australian Defence Force and their families to communicate directly with Government.
