Over a quarter of a million Australian veterans experience difficulty adjusting to civilian life after leaving service.

Salute for Service is a veteran-led organisation which is dedicated to supporting current and ex-serving members of the ADF.

Salute for Service COO Marc Diplock told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "We're finding quite a number actually coming over into the Salute program, because we don't only just look at the transitioning... we look at a holistic approach."

"We're looking to support the family, the children, we look at things like financial assistance, independent career coaching and career mentoring as well," he said.
