The Military Wives Choir is not only for wives... but also siblings, girlfriends, mothers, aunties and children of a service member (over 18 years of age). Even acting/reserve service members can join if rehearsals and performances do not conflict with their work responsibilities.
The group has just started up and keen to encourage membership, not only for the obvious reason of having a choir but also to promote friendship, peer support, positive mental health and all that good stuff that I am sure you agree comes naturally when we join forces in community projects such as this. It also provides a very public show of support for our service men and women which you all know I am very keen to continue in everything I do. As a proud mum of a 3RAR soldier, this choir has a special place in my heart and it will be for my son that I sing.

All ex-servicemen and women are requested to wear their medals
We are dedicated to supporting our service men and women who have suffered as a result of their service to our country and it is with great pleasure that we invite you to our Open Day at our Floreat Reintegration & Recovery Centre to explore our new centre and learn more about what Soldier On are doing to support service affected personnel in WA, as well as opening discussion on how we can collaboratively provide a better future for our people. This invitation only session is also an opportunity for key stakeholders, sponsors and supporters to provide feedback to Soldier On about how we can improve our systems and activities to better support those in need.

From Deployment to Employment: Agricultural Jobs for Veterans - A New Initiative
Who Benefits?
After serving in the military, the transition back to civilian life can be difficult, especially when looking for employment. It can be particularly hard for those who are wounded – whether the wounds are physical or not quite so visible from the outside.
Fortunately, there is one industry that could suit your existing skill set and outlook: agriculture.
This has led Agri Labour Australia and Walking Wounded to join forces.
Our aim is to help veterans find stable, rewarding roles that match existing skills and abilities.
We hope to bridge the gap between deployment and employment, helping our returning soldiers find meaningful careers while also safeguarding the future of our nation’s great farming tradition.
