The Department of Defence (Defence) and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) are working together to develop a new joint Defence and Veteran Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy (the Strategy). The Strategy will inform our joint approach to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of Defence personnel and the veteran community over the next five years. Hearing directly from members of our veteran community is a critical part of the development of the Strategy.
The purpose of this survey is to seek your insights to inform the development of the Strategy. It is an opportunity for you to have a say in what matters to you and help ensure the Strategy reflects the needs, priorities, and aspirations of the veteran community.
The survey should take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. It will close at midnight AEST on 28 August 2023. Further information on who can participate, consent, confidentiality and privacy is available in the link below and will be displayed prior to survey completion.
Please follow the link to complete the survey here: https://dva.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7OtQqezOcSCLCqW
If you have questions about the survey please email [email protected]. Please share the survey with your networks.
