Support and encouragement. COMMENTS Participants reflected on the Forum and recorded comments to share with the group: If you give a seed funding to an organisation and make them responsible they will carry on. Advocacy to RSL they have $. How improving the DVA claims process—to stop being confrontational and having delegates act like insurance assessors picking through every claim for any reason to deny liability! Then we wouldn’t need more and better advocates! Invitations should go out to all ESOs and every year it should be new voices, so you’re then covering more issues and real life lived experiences. Engagement, empowerment, correct concise investigations. Support, connections and visibility for female veterans. DVA Cards for all veterans. Give seed funding to Women’s Veterans Network Australia for recognition of female veterans—they’ll get on with it. Thank you everyone for opening up and sharing your raw experiences. Stories like these make you remember you’re not alone. National women veteran conferences specific to female issues. Need professional advocates and proactive promotion of female veterans. Co-ordinate all ESO veteran activities together, and all State and Federal veteran legislation and activities. Looking forward to the release of My Service. Thank you. I think it is so important to respect rather than question a veteran’s service and the significant role of female veterans’ contribution. empowering each other is the strongest support. Thanks for giving me the opportunity for attending the second Female Veterans’ Policy Forum. I feel we have moved forward since the first one and continue to do so. Continue to involve and empower women veterans to enable a voice, strength and unity throughout development. The issues raised affect everyone who has served, but the ones who are invisible are the part- time veterans. As more of them deploy this group will increase, there is no transition for them. Has anyone thought about the health implications? Very productive forum, so glad I could be a part of it.
