Have your say: Open Arms - Digital Mental Health Survey

Open Arms – Veterans & Families Counselling (Open Arms) is calling on veterans and families to take part in a survey about how digital technologies can be used in mental health treatment and programs.
The results from this survey will be used to shape Open Arms’ Digital Mental Health Strategy, which is being developed to help enhance the effectiveness of mental health services delivered to veterans and families.

Why participate?  
Your feedback is crucial in helping us understand your experiences with the use of digital technology and Open Arms’ services. By sharing your thoughts, you can contribute directly to the improvement of the mental health support offered through Open Arms.  

Who can participate? 
Anyone who has served at least one day of continuous full-time service in the Australian Defence Force and their families are encouraged to contribute whether they are currently, have previously, or never accessed Open Arms’ services.   

How does it work?  
The Open Arms’ Projects and Program assurance team will collect the information from the online surveys to inform the development of the Open Arms’ Digital Mental Health Strategy.

Participation is voluntary and all responses are confidential. The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete and closes on 20th March 2025. Participate in the survey here.

If you have any questions about the survey or would like talk about providing feedback separate to the survey, please email OPENARMS.PPASSURANCE@dva.gov.au or call us on 1800 011 046
