DFA launches New Resources for Lateral Recruit Families

Defence Families of Australia is pleased to announce two new resources for ADF members and their families who are thinking of joining or have joined as lateral recruits after serving in a foreign defence force.

You and Your Money in Australia has been developed in collaboration with the ADF Financial Services Consumer Council to educate lateral recruits about financial and taxation issues related to living and working in Australia.

The publication is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for personal financial advice. For information on seeking financial advice in Australia, visit the Council's website at www.adfconsumer.gov.au.

The second resource, the DFA Factsheet for Lateral Recruit Families, is a general guide which assists lateral recruit families move to Australia and settle into their new life by providing information in areas such as health, housing and Defence support.
