What We Do
Empower Women Veterans
Our aim is to provide funding and grants for programs to support the wellbeing of women veterans. We also seek to provide education and training activities to address issues experienced by women veterans directly tied to their service in the military or separation from the military to empower them to thrive.
Understand Women Veterans Needs
Women Veterans Australia supports initiatives and studies that enhance the understanding of issues and challenges that are unique to women veterans.
