As we enter 2025, it’s the perfect time for Australian veterans to explore the wide range of support programs and resources available to them. From updated DVA services to new community initiatives, there are many opportunities to help veterans thrive in the new year. At The Rosemary Centre, we’re committed to assisting veterans in accessing the support they deserve, ensuring that no one navigates this journey alone.
In this article, we’ll outline the latest programs, benefits, and resources for veterans in 2025 and how they can make the most of these opportunities.
2025 Support Programs for Australian Veterans
The new year brings a range of support programs tailored to meet the needs of Australian veterans. Here are some key programs to look out for:
- Updated DVA Services
The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) continues to enhance its services, focusing on simplifying the claims process and expanding access to mental health support. Veterans can expect streamlined procedures and improved communication when lodging claims. For detailed information on DVA claims, visit our DVA Claims page. - Expanded Mental Health Services
Veterans’ mental health remains a top priority in 2025, with additional funding allocated to specialised programs for PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Telehealth options, like those offered by The Rosemary Centre, ensure that veterans across Australia can access mental health support from the comfort of their homes. Learn more about how we can assist on Our Processes page. - Employment Transition Programs
For veterans transitioning to civilian life, tailored initiatives focus on career training and job placement to bridge the gap between military service and civilian employment. These programs help equip veterans with new skills and connect them to meaningful job opportunities. At The Rosemary Centre, we assist veterans with comprehensive mental health assessments and personalised reports that support their claims and enhance access to transition services.External programs like the Veteran Employment Program (Veterans’ Employment) and the RSL Veterans’ Employment Program (RSL Australia) further support veterans by providing career coaching, job placement, and access to employers seeking their unique skills.

From housing assistance to pensions, financial support remains a cornerstone of veteran services. In 2025, there are more targeted programs to help veterans and their families achieve financial stability, particularly for those facing economic hardships.
Community Support for Veterans in the New Year

Local Veteran Groups
Across Australia, veteran groups provide a safe space for camaraderie and support. These groups often organise events, workshops, and social gatherings to foster community and reduce isolation.
Volunteer and Advocacy Programs
Many veterans find purpose in giving back through volunteering or advocacy work. These programs not only provide a sense of belonging but also help veterans make a difference in their communities.
