2024 Prime Minister’s �Թ���վ Veteran Employment Awards winners announced

Champions of veteran employment were celebrated last night at the 2024 Prime Minister’s �Թ���վ Veteran Employment Awards in Canberra.

The event is an important opportunity to acknowledge the incredibly valuable contribution veterans make in civilian life and the employers who support them.

By shining a light on their successes, the Awards encourage civilian organisations to embrace the wealth of experience and capability that veterans bring to their teams.

The valuable skills and experience veterans gain in the Australia Defence Force are transferrable to any number of civilian roles and organisations – they might just not be spelt out in the way you would expect on a CV.

The 2024 Prime Minister’s �Թ���վ Veteran Employment Awards are part of the Australian Government’s $24 million Veteran Employment Program.

The Awards come at a time when the Government is working to respond to the final report of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide, a culmination of the most significant and comprehensive inquiry conducted into suicide and suicidality in the Defence and veteran community.

Quotes attributable to the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese:

“It’s an honour to recognise the incredible efforts of these individuals and organisations in the veteran employment space.”

“These Awards serve as a powerful reminder of the remarkable contributions veterans make to the community each and every day. Congratulations to all the winners.”

Quotes attributable to the Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Defence Personnel, Matt Keogh:

“These awards demonstrate just how much the veteran community has to offer after their Australian Defence Force service.

The Royal Commission made it clear that there is more to do to improve transition for veterans, we’re taking that seriously and the Veteran Employment Program plays a significant part in that.”
