The Younger Veterans - Contemporary Needs Forum (YVF) is intended to:
- assist in identifying priority emerging issues for veterans across the age and conflict spectrum particularly in the areas of mental and social health;
- assist in identifying emerging issues for veteran's families and support networks;
- identify and analyse trends across veteran cohorts and geography and raise awareness of these increasing and common issues with subject-matter experts from the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) and other state or Commonwealth government departments and agencies as appropriate;
- assist in identifying opportunities for increased engagement with younger veterans who are geographically dislocated or not affiliated with ex-service organisations, through the appropriate media and internet technology;
- enhance ex-service community's understanding of DVA's service delivery performance through information sharing and improved communication between DVA and the ex-service community; and
- identify and provide recommendations for improvements in DVA's operational policy to promote quality and accountability in service delivery.
