An essential element of our aims is to act as the advocate to protect our members and their families’ rights and entitlements to welfare and services benefits. We have sought recognition as a peak Ex-Service Organisation (ESO) in our own right, because of our combined strength of over 10,000 members and potential access to over 55,000 other eligible persons. We will represent our views on matters that only effect our Association’s aims directly to Government and its agencies and indirectly through kindred ESOs: RSL, Australian Veterans and Defence Services Council (AVADSC), Legacy, etc. If you have any matter you believe threatens your entitlements, please let us know.

Illegal Wearing of Medals Recent examples and correspondence with the AFP has confirmed this position. We have written to the Government recommending action to overcome the problem: more resources or allow another enforcement authority.
This matter, CPI or AWOTE, has been taken up with AVADSC. We are still developing our own position.
