CALL FOR RESEARCH PARTICIPANTS

Researchers from The Hospital Research Foundation Group – Military & Emergency Services Health Australia (MESHA) together with Veterans SA are inviting you to participate in a research study aimed at understanding what matters most to former and current Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel and their families.

The study will explore whether available services are meeting your needs, challenges you may be facing and what additional support could help you and your family thrive.

Your insights will help Veterans SA shape future advocacy efforts and programs to support South Australia’s veteran community.

Participants can enter a draw to win one of 40 $25 e-gift cards.
