Veterans

729 The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay) (25 August 2021). How will the state government engage with veterans and their families to ensure their opinions are considered in new policy and program proposals, which will affect the services and support initiatives available to them?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

There are already opportunities for veterans and their families to provide opinions to the South Australian government through the Veterans’ Advisory Council, which provides independent advice to me as I have responsibility for the Veterans’ Affairs portfolio; and to the Veterans Health Advisory Council, which sits in the Minister for Health and Wellbeing’s portfolio.

Additionally, this year Veterans SA has created a number of opportunities for veterans and their families to engage on matters that are important to them, and this will further develop into 2022.
