As the former Commander Joint Logistics and the former Co-Chair of the Defence/NSW Government Consultative Forum, I congratulate the NSW Government Veterans’ Employment Program (VEP) for their excellent achievement during the Centenary of Anzac. Assisting 824 veterans to find work, or be offered a new role in the NSW public sector, is significant and reflective of the substantial talent and employability of Defence veterans. I also congratulate the VEP on being extended for a further four years with a new target of helping an additional 1000 veterans to find work by 2023. This is a fantastic program and I encourage all veterans to have a look at the VEP website, during, or post their transition from the Australian Defence Force.
