Employment after military service can bring challenges, but support is available to help veterans and families find, return to, or stay in work. Help may include career planning, job searching, training, and support to balance work with health or caring responsibilities.

Supporting carers is an important part of supporting the wellbeing of veterans and families. 

A General Practitioner (GP) is a good first step for most non-emergency health concerns and can help you manage your health over time. Finding the right GP means choosing someone you feel comfortable.

Financial advice can help veterans and families make informed decisions during major life changes, such as leaving the ADF, receiving compensation, or planning for the future. Support is also available if you are dealing with debt, financial stress or uncertainty about your next steps.

You can parent in ways that suit your strengths and circumstances, even if disability means you need extra planning, support or adjustments at times.  

Alcohol and other drug use can affect health, relationships and daily life, but support is available for veterans, families and carers. With the right help, recovery is possible, and people can improve wellbeing, rebuild connections and find a way forward.
