Helping veterans find purpose after military service

Veteran-led volunteer organisation Disaster Relief Australia (DRA) will announce the results of a two year study into protecting the wellbeing of veterans.

It followed the experiences of almost 800 DRA members exploring the ways service can restore purpose and perspective. Results suggest that volunteering is a viable and sometimes lifesaving option for those struggling to find purpose and meaning following military service.
