UniSA signs Soldier On Pledge

The pledge requires partner organisations to acknowledge the skills and service of Australia’s veteran community, and how veterans can support their organisation with their unique talents.

Professor Marnie Hughes-Warrington, deputy vice chancellor research and enterprise at the University of South Australia, welcomed to commitment outlining that it will help them continue their role supporting Australia’s defence network.

“Our new Veterans’ Engagement and Education Program offers personalised study support to veterans, serving and ex-serving ADF members, including reservists, first responders, and immediate family members,” Professor Hughes-Warrington said.

“Through our Invictus Pathways Program, we are also providing wellbeing activities and allied health services to ex-Defence Force personnel.”

Ivan Slavich, chief executive of Soldier On, outlined that the organisation’s pledge partners help to support the transition of defence veterans.

“The Soldier On Pathways Program works to provide employment opportunities to veterans and their families, enabling them to thrive. For every organisation that signs the Soldier On Pledge, we are one step closer to enabling more veterans and their families to secure their future,” Slavich said.
