Defence Force | Veterans Compensation & Welfare Advice

Advice for all serving and ex-serving military personnel and their families It's about YOU!

Young Diggers provides services like compensation, welfare, military to civilian transition and family advice for all serving and ex-serving personnel of the Australian or New Zealand Defence Forces.

Whether you, or a family member, has served in the Army, Navy or Air Force on operational deployment or during peace time, or Australian Federal Police who have served on peacekeeping missions, we are here for you.

Our main objective is to enhance and maintain your quality of life.

We provide all combat and non-combat veterans with:

• a confidential service 
• a non-military organisation who understands
• a non-government organisation you can trust
• easy to talk to ex-military volunteers who have been there
• a voice, in a safe environment, where you can share your feelings and experiences with others

All our information and services are free. We can assist you with accessing counselling services, tools and information on overcoming the difficulties of serving in the Defence Force, including military to civilian transition, sexual harassment and disorders like PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), plus much more.
