Coastal Veterans

Veteran Connection and Conversation

This episode is a change of direction. My previous episodes have had a wellbeing focus, BUT I wanted to share with you today the common pitfalls I have seen when members do their resumes. I explain what the pitfalls are and tips to overcome them. If you have questions from this episode you are welcome to pop over to instagram or facebook and leave a comment on the most recent photo and I will get back to you, if there is enough questions I am happy to record an episode that answers them for you all :)

On today's episode I have Luke from Coastal Veterans on to talk about his transition from Defence. There is mention of Suicidal Thoughts and Mental Health, so it is up to the listeners discretion if this is an appropriate episode for them. We did have some technical difficulty, so there is a spot in the episode where the audio does go a bit funny...but hang in there because it does go back to normal. I really enjoyed talking to Luke and how he has used his journey to help support Veterans, through grounding and connecting with nature.

If you would like to follow Luke, head over to his instagram.

Today’s episode is Part 2 of my conversation with Kristian and Corbin from AVAC Services⁠. Kristian and Corbin both work within AVAC Services, which is a paid DVA Advocacy service. In this episode Kristian and Corbin talk about when would be beneficial for members to be submitting claims, the best way to go about it, and how to keep records of incidents that are not wanting to be submitted as claims yet. Kristian and Corbin also talk about their organisation and why they chose to be a paid advocacy services and ways that they hope to support other organisations who help members and their families, but also give us a bit of insight into the future thoughts about how they would like to continue to support the defence community through their organisation.

AVAC Services can be found on Facebook, instagram, and on the website link above.
