DAVLS 1 year of service, 1000 people helped
Free assistance for veterans, ADF members and their families
A free legal service for veterans and Defence members has marked its first anniversary by boosting the assistance it provides to them. In the past year more than 1,000 people have been helped across Australia by the Defence and Veterans Legal Service (DAVLS).
This service provides free, confidential and independent legal support to people who want to share their story with the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide.
Key dates
Submissions to the Royal Commission must be received by October 13 of this year. But if you want to have a private one-on-one session with a Royal Commissioner, you must submit your request by April 28 of this year.
DAVLS also helps with issues relating to veterans’ entitlements and other legal problems commonly experienced by current and former ADF members.
For free, independent legal support, call 1800 33 1800 or visit www.defenceveteranslegalservice.org.au
