Defence Families Australia – Webinars: The first five years as an ADF partner
Over the month of March, DFA is hosting a series of webinars about the first five years as an ADF partner. We’ve asked the Deputy Service Chiefs to talk about what to expect from a Services perspective such as how much the member will be away and in what locations. Defence Community Organisation (DCO) and the Chaplains will share top tips for keeping a relationship strong in these circumstances.
Some of the topics covered include:
What to expect
Relationships
Training expectations
Where to go if you need help
Communication with the ADF
Communication with your partner
The RAAF specific webinar has already taken place and the recording will soon be available on the DFA website.
Navy Monday 30 March 8.00pm (AEDT)
