What does it really take to build strength and community when your family is moving at a moment’s notice – and how do you turn that experience into creating meaningful support for veterans and their spouses?

What does it really take to build strength and community when your family is moving at a moment’s notice – and how do you turn that experience into creating meaningful support for veterans and their spouses?

In this episode of The Progress Report, Defence Connect’s Tash Taylor sits down with Julie Hall who comes from a proud family with deep roots in the Australian Defence Force. As a passionate advocate for veteran families and the driving force behind the CommBank for Veterans program, Julie shares how her own connection to service inspired her mission to support those who give so much.

From juggling life across multiple cities and military moves to launching initiatives that help veterans start businesses and find financial security, Julie opens up about the challenges faced by defence families and how resilience becomes part of their DNA.

 
 

From sacrifices made to tight-knit communities that form, together they unpack what it means to work with heart, build networks, and champion ideas that change lives.

The Progress Report. New voices. Real stories. Big shifts.
