Our holistic national support services are available free to current and former Defence personnel and their family members.
We aim to HELP individuals build resilience and create and expand meaningful connections with family, community and employers through four key areas:
- Health and wellbeing: in-house, evidence-based psychology treatment.
- Employment: dedicated Officers providing one-on-one employment support and career opportunities.
- Learning: personal and professional development through various educational institutions.
- Participation: social connection activities and programs to encourage reconnection with individuals and the community.
Whether our participants need to access services in one or all four areas, our staff are here to help.
Soldier On participants can engage with our staff in person, or remotely via phone and online resources.
