The Hon Alan Griffin MP
Minister for Defence Personnel and Veterans' Affairs

The Australian Defence Force provides a challenging career. The nature of work undertaken, both domestically and on operations, can present challenges to both the serving member and their family.

It is important that Defence is able to provide the necessary degree of support and assistance to members and their families to assist them in managing these challenges.

I see this as one of my key tasks as Minister for Defence Personnel, and see Defence Families Australia as one of my main partners in ensuring the needs of Defence families are understood.
