Minister's Address

The Hon Warren Snowdon MP
Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Defence Science and Personnel

The Australian Defence Force provides a challenging career like no other, and it’s important to acknowledge that many serving men and women would be lost without the strength and courage of the families.

It is their commitment, their support, and their sacrifice that ensures each individual serving member can fulfil their role, and more broadly ensure the ADF can fulfil its local and international military and peacekeeping role, and make certain it remains the powerful and enduring organisation it is.

The Australian Government and Defence have a long and proud history of providing support to Defence Families.

As Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Defence Science and Personnel, I look forward to further developing my relationship with Defence Families Australia to ensure the needs of Defence Families are understood.
