Get involved in Veterans’ Health Week

One of the most exciting weeks on the veteran calendar is happening again in 2024; Veterans’ Health Week (VHW)! This year VHW will be held 13-20 October and is themed Keep Connected.

Keep Connected highlights the importance of staying socially connected to family, friends and peers. Social connectedness can have a positive impact on mental health, lead to a longer life, better overall health, and improved wellbeing.

Organisations keen to host an event during VHW can apply to receive one-off funding of $1000 to support their event. Event organisers are encouraged to consider how they can help veterans and families in their local community to make social connections at their event.

To support your event, download the VHW kit bag to help plan and deliver your event. The kit bag includes a brochure, information and event ideas, a poster to promote your event, social media graphics, logos and presentations to share at your event.

Applications for one-off funding close 30 August 2024.

Keep your eye on the VHW webpage on the DVA website for more information soon, including a calendar of events.
