Keep Connected This Veterans’ Health Week

Veterans’ Health Week is our annual reminder that while service takes a toll on veterans and families, there are so many innovative ways and support opportunities to maintain and improve mental health and keep connected. 

With so many people losing contact with their mates - their Defence family - when they leave service, it’s so important that people find new ways to keep in touch after transition.

This year’s theme for Veterans’ Health Week is ‘Keep Connected’, which highlights the importance of staying socially connected to family, friends and peers.

As we work through the findings of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide’s Final Report, this fact becomes all the more apparent.

Every year the Australian Government collaborates with community groups, ex-service organisations and advocates to promote a healthy lifestyle in the veteran community through Veterans’ Health Week.

This year there are more than 780 registered Veterans’ Health Week events happening across the country, with everything from cooking lessons to pickleball, Pilates and even axe throwing.

No matter your taste, there’s something for everyone available in every state and territory.

For more information on Veterans’ Health Week and to get involved in all the wonderful events being hosted this year, please visit the DVA website.
