As the Commander Forces Command, I can personally vouch for the skills that Australian Defence Force personnel have acquired during their period of service to our nation. They have much to offer prospective employers, in a range of different fields and in varying roles. The New South Wales Government's Veterans Employment Program continues to function as an important link between our veterans and those employers keen to seize the opportunities that come with having former Australian Defence Force Personnel as part of their team.
I commend the program for the outstanding progress achieved to date and for the ongoing support provided to the New South Wales community. It is fantastic to see this incredibly valuable program extended for another four years, with a new target of linking an additional 1000 veterans with worthwhile employment opportunities, by 2023. I encourage both veterans and employers to make full use of the program website and to take advantage of the range of significant opportunities that are on offer.
