Exciting news!

Social Futures Veterans Connect is marking its first anniversary on the Central Coast!

The Central Coast is home to the largest population of Veterans in NSW, with approximately 3,000 former ADF members residing here.

Veterans Connect provides vital support to Veterans and their families, connecting them with services like GPs, physiotherapists, psychologists, and peer groups.

Operating from Gosford, Veterans Connect has assisted around 60 former ADF members and families over the past year. And now, we've expanded our services to the Hunter Valley!

Veterans Connect is supported by the Hunter New England Central Coast Primary Health Network

Hello lovely followers.

I wanted to advise the MRCA veterans is no longer providing voluntary advocacy.

I, Abby, am now working for Social Futures as a Veteran Care Coordinator, providing free assistance to veterans.

Alternatively, I am affiliated with Cessnock RSL Sub-Branch, who you can also reach out to for advocacy, advice and assistance.

Veterans Connect supports veterans, their families, and carers in the Central Coast. Call 1800 719 625 or email veteransconnect@socialfutures.org.au.

I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which I work, the Wonnarua People, and pay my respects to Elders past, present and future.

It is important to ensure that First Nations communities have the opportunity to share the wisdom of their own culture with every primary school student. Let's work together to promote cultural understanding and respect.

A powerful post, a reminder to put the mask on yourself first, before you put the mask on yourself . Not an easy thing to do when all your life you have been taught, to never leave someone you love behind !
