Veterans benefits under the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act are designed to provide comprehensive support for Australian Defence Force members and their families. These benefits address key areas such as healthcare, financial assistance, housing support, education, and employment services. They aim to ease the transition to civilian life, tackle service-related challenges, and ensure stability for veterans and their loved ones.

Understanding what is veteran in Australia involves recognising the dedication and sacrifices of those who served in the ADF. The veteran community includes individuals who completed active duty, participated in operational roles, or provided essential support. With over 600,000 veterans in Australia, many face unique challenges during and after service. Gaining insight into their experiences helps society give the support needed for their health, wellbeing, and transition to civilian life.
