Supporting Younger Veterans

This program provides funding to support the ‘younger veterans’ community’, being Australian veterans with post-1999 military service, and their families.

The objectives of the program are to:

• deliver services to the younger veterans’ community that build community capacity for the future and complement services already provided by the Commonwealth
• expand on existing or well established services offered to the younger veterans’ community to new regions within Australia or in development of new services that will be offered in more than one location
• raise awareness of the important issues faced by the younger veterans’ community.

This is a targeted competitive process, and to be eligible you must be one of the following:

• an Ex-Service Organisation (ESO) that specifically provides support and services to members of the younger veterans’ community; and/or are adapting their business model to focus on this cohort
• a non-ESO (an organisation external to the ESO community) operating as a Trustee on behalf of a Trust that includes an ESO
• a non-ESO in a partnership or consortia arrangement with at least one ESO that directly provides support and services to members of the younger veterans’ community
