  In adversity there is strength

With the above in mind, this site combining all the features required, has been created with the assistance of people who have donated their time, expertise and hosting of the site.

Once a person leaves the military, without the support of their mates, life can change dramatically.
It may be that the person was injured and can no longer function as they once did, or, it may just be a lack of companionship.

This forum is a private forum available only to pre-approved members or ex members of the Australian Military. The content of the forum is not for public viewing and is NOT a Public Place for the purposes of any Australian Legislation. Any person/s accessing the forum by any illegal means are committing an offense and will be reported.

One of the benefits of serving in the Australian Defence Force is mateship where bonds with your mates are for life.
No Liability by the forum Administration, host or it's membership is accepted.

Liberals Welfare Review

If you are interested to know if your Veterans Affairs Benefit will be the target of the Joe Hockey razor cuts to welfare, we have the answers.

 

Join our forum now and find out what's happening.  

 

 

Shadow treasurer Joe Hockey has committed a future Coalition government to a review of the whole range of Australian welfare payments.

Speaking in London after a meeting with Britain's chancellor of the exchequer George Osborne - who has overseen the Conservative government's unpopular spending cuts - Mr Hockey warned that Western governments had created welfare systems they can no longer afford.

His comments came in a speech, titled 'The End of the Age of Entitlement', which he delivered to an audience of policymakers in the British capital.

Speaking to Lateline, he said that Australia needed to scale back the size of its welfare bill to strengthen the national finances.

But he declined to say which benefits would be put on the fiscal chopping block.

"We are all living longer, and the longer we rely on government handouts, the greater the burden for taxpayers and particularly those that follow," he told Lateline.

VETERAN ASSIST

As you know, Veteran Assist is a private local company that is contracted to the Department of Veteran Affairs.

We conduct HomeFront assessments on all Gold, White & War Widows that have a gold card regardless of health status, age & accommodation. 

We make an appointment to see the veteran in their own home. We show the veteran the products on offer this calendar year up to the value of $196. The veteran chooses the products and we order these for them. The items are used for the home and come under the 'falls prevention program'. Items chosen are to prevent falls such as retractable hose reels, sensor light, night light, non slip mats, cordless telephones just to name a few. 

The assessment takes approx 30 minutes. It is at no cost to the veteran. The items are posted to the veteran and takes approx 4 weeks to arrive from Melbourne at no cost to the veteran. 

The uptake rate of HomeFront is only 4%. Our mission is to increase awareness of HomeFront and to service the veteran community Australia Wide!. So, to do this, we need your help in spreading the word. So please forward this email on to all of your veteran friends. 

We have a 1800 telephone number which is free for all veterans calling from Australia. Please advise all your veteran friends about HomeFront and to call us to arrange for a local assessor to see them asap. Remember its every Calendar Year.
