Deployed ADF personnel have sent Christmas messages to their family and friends back home.

Personnel are deployed on Operation Accordion at Australia’s main operating base in the Middle East and on Operation Lilia in Solomon Islands.

The Christmas videos from deployed personnel are available on Defence’s YouTube channel.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison thanked all deployed personnel for their service in his video Christmas message.

“To the men and women who keep us all safe, thank you, and thank you to you your families who carry that burden of service with you each and every day,” Mr Morrison said.
