Veteran Support Teams

Thinking about your next step, looking to broaden your network, or simply interested in what support is available? This event offers a friendly and relaxed space to meet others, share experiences, and make useful connections.

Join Defence in Business for an in-person gathering that brings together veteran talent, employers, service providers and supporters from across Victoria. Whether you are exploring a new role, considering business opportunities, or just keen to connect with others on a similar path, this is a great opportunity to have practical conversations and gain fresh perspectives.

Come along to meet friendly faces, discover useful services and resources, and build relationships within a community that genuinely understands the value veterans bring. Food and drinks will be provided.
