Veterans support

    Operation Thrive is a Territory wide initiative to support veterans and their families with:

    • transition, employment and education
    • health and wellbeing
    • respect and recognition.

    The initiative was created based on the real-life experiences and insights of veterans and families in the Territory. It was launched after the Northern Territory (NT) Defence Veterans Strategy PDF (2.8 MB) was released.

    Operation Thrive delivers a range of projects to support the strategy and improve liveability for veterans and their families in the NT.

    Check your mates

    DefenceNT encourages you to check in on 5 mates, leading to catch ups and conversations to increase wellbeing within the veterans community.

    You can #CheckYourMates by:

    • connecting and making time to meet
    • yarning and taking the time to listen
    • motivating and encouraging action to get support if needed.

    Keeping in touch with your mates allows you to stay updated on their lives. If they're going through a challenging time, a simple phone call and a catch-up session could make a real difference.

    If you or someone you know is experiencing difficulties, you can get support from:

    Health

    You can make an appointment with a GP who has undergone specialist training in veterans health and wellness care.
