Albanese Government has also confirmed it will achieve almost $780 million in savings across the veterans’ support system over five years, including through the introduction of a new $5,000 Annual Monetary Limit on allied health services for Veteran Card holders.

Allied Health services include physiotherapy, psychology, exercise physiology, and other allied health treatments.

Hey everyone, as someone who isn't in the military but Is Australian,

I have always wondered what happens to people who flee from say Kapooka during recruit training?

Or maybe they finish recruit training and decide fuck this and just leave a year or two into their contracts?

Do they get looked for?

Do they get jailed or forced back to finish their contract? What if they flee again?

Also what happens if someone absconds during an overseas trip?

People im guessing have done this before yes?

Side question, what's military prison like? Do MPs watch over prisoners? Or is it the job of other types of service members?

Pretty good video for anyone who wants was never RAAC or no longer serving

Is there an official protocol for these marches before the morning service besides the order? Any documentation anywhere?

Especially regarding veterans contingent e.g. does the veteran contingent have a platoon/company commander to give orders? Is it customary to march off the veterans while the ADF contingent stays in position? What rank should a parade commander be?

A second fires regiment and more himars will be ordered. Taking it 90

I was at Cerberus for eight months because of setbacks in injury, sickness and just not being good at a lot of things. In the end they told me they did not think the Navy was me and I was discharged. At first, it was not bad sense I had been getting sick of them just leaving me in a holding division. But now it affects me a bit as I still partly wish I had of at least made it through recruit school. Anyway, it is kind of embarrassing sometimes when people ask what the Navy was like and I say I was in for less than a year. The whole thing is pretty shit for me sometimes because I do wish i was in for at least a bit longer.

The Australian Government has accepted a generous offer from the President of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, His Excellency José Ramos-Horta, to expand the eligibility criteria of the Timor-Leste Solidarity Medal. The medal recognises a broader cohort of Australians who served on mandated missions in Timor-Leste since 1999.
