Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Defence Personnel Andrew Gee today announced the Veteran Wellbeing Centre network is set to grow, with the opening of expressions of interest for a new centre in South East Queensland.
Minister Gee encouraged ex-service and community organisations in the region to apply, and said a new Veteran Wellbeing Centre would provide a wide range of essential support services for veterans and their families.
“It’s time to expand the Veteran Wellbeing Centre network into South East Queensland where a large number of our veterans live. They will benefit greatly from having a broad range of resources all housed under the one roof,” Minister Gee said.
“Over 100,000 of our veterans and their families are registered with the Department of Veterans’ Affairs in Queensland, and over 65 per cent of them call South East Queensland home.
