As the Acting Minister for Veterans, I am a proud supporter of the NSW Government’s Veterans Employment Program which assists veterans transitioning out of the Australian Defence Force.
The Program is designed with two key aims – to communicate with veterans about working in the NSW Public Sector, and to build a network of collaborators who advocate for the transferable skills veterans bring to the workforce.
The Veterans Employment Program was extended in November 2018 for a further four years, with the Premier setting the Public Sector a target of hiring an additional 1000 veterans by 2023. I am pleased to say the NSW Government is on track to meet this target
