Strive2Thrive: Fundraising for Veteran Qualifications
Transitioning from military service can be a defining moment in the lives of many of our ex-serving men & women and unfortunately, it’s an uphill battle. Unemployment is a major hurdle to long-term mental health outcomes for our veterans and the statistics paint a sad reality:
- Suicide rates for ex-servicemen are 21% higher and 127% higher for ex-service women compared to national averages.
- Approximately 5,800 Australian veterans are homeless.
- The Veteran unemployment rate is 23% higher than the national average.
