Ex-servicemen and women may have been prioritised in the last federal budget, but fundamental reform of help is required
I read a commentary over the last week saying that veterans were “winners” in this federal budget.
While the investment within the veteran system is long overdue and couldn’t be more needed, I do have to question some of the initiatives being funded and can’t help but ask myself, is this value for money? I know the 44,000 veterans in the Department of Veterans’ Affairs’ (DVA) claims backlog certainly hope it is!
