Co-located with the Lowood RSL Sub-Branch, the Veterans' Advocacy Community of Practice in Brisbane's West is an independent, national Ex Services Organisation (ESO), offering services to assist any current and former serving members of the Australian Defence Force and their families who are in need of support, no matter where they live.
Advocates are available to provide information to both veterans and current service personnel who have suffered an injury or disease as a result of their service.
They can act on behalf of the veteran, or guide them through the lodgement of Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) claims.
We have assembled a great team of volunteer advocates and support officers. We now have advocates with specialised skills in Defence discharges, including medical discharges, as well as military superannuation (MSBS and DFRDB).
We also offer Justice of the Peace services to provide help to the Defence community by witnessing documents and other legal statuaries, free of charge to Defence members and veterans.
