VANZ VISIT TO MELBOURNE.
Bernadine MacKenzie (Head of VANZ), Sharon Cavanagh (Manager Veterans Services) and other staff members will hold two forums for veterans in Victoria.:
Sunday 23 June. Caulfield & NZRSL, 4 St Georges Rd, Elsternwick, Melbourne. Lunch at 12.30pm followed by the forum.
Monday 24 June. ANZAC House, 4 Collins St. Melbourne 10.30am. Followed by a light lunch.
The forums will begin with a short presentation, followed by a Q&A session. Then if any veterans would like individual time with a Case Manager there will be three staff available to do that.

The venue is still to be advised but will be in the Perth CBD.
Re the VANZ visit .Wonder if they will bother taking their note pads!!!
now now Pills…dont be so optimistic
So if no veterans want “Individual Time” with staff, the staff will go back to the hotel and swan around until the next event. I thought an idea might be for individual contact before going to then guage the usefulness of the trip and even if the trip is warranted. Have not seen either of these (paid by the taxpayer) civil servants up here in the North lately perhaps those who remain in NZ are not as important as those who decamp to a foreign nation for a better life instead of trying to make NZ Great.
Well put Dave! In view of all the controversy surrounding the bloody VA Support Act perhaps they need to start talking to Vets back home here! ASAP!
