Have your say: Defence Families Australia invites families to share their thoughts

Each year the Defence Families of Australia Delegates collect feedback from all over the country, and represent the concerns of Defence families to key decision makers including the Chief of Defence Force and the Minister for Defence Personnel.

All of the Delegates are advocating for the changes that are most important to the families in their regions, and need your feedback to ensure your voice is heard.

This year, families in Northern Queensland have even more options to connect with their DFA delegate. You can speak with Chandell face to face at local events, over the phone or via email, or through the online feedback groups on the DFA Northern Queensland Facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/DFANorthern Queensland.

There is a feedback group for each of the NQ regions- Townsville, Cairns, Tully and Thursday Island & Weipa, so connect today and have your say on your experience as a Defence family.
