Veterans Support Act – Amend 2

You will be aware that the Minister of Veterans Affairs has introduced into Parliament a further amendment to the Veterans Support Act 2014. This amendment went under its first reading yesterday and has been sent to Select Committee reporting back to the House on the 21 July 2020. Click HERE to listen to what Ron Mark had to say about the Amendment.

This amendment again leaves those servicemen and women who joined pre-1974 out in the cold. So this is your chance to send a submission into the Select Committee. Take action and let’s look after all Servicemen and women and not just those which are being addressed as ‘conventional veterans’.
