AFA-SA Welcomes newly posted Air Force personnel and Families at DMFS Welcome to Adelaide Event

BATTLE OF BRITAIN ‘LACE’

Air Force Association – South Australia (AFA-SA) recently attended the Defence Member Family Support Welcome to Adelaide event.

The event, welcoming more than 1500 new ADF personnel and their families to the Adelaide area, was held at the Adelaide Zoo.

AFA-SA met so many ADF members and their families who had just arrived in Adelaide, eager to learn more about their new community and the support mechanisms available to help them.

For AFA-SA, it was a great opportunity to connect with serving Air Force members and their families introducing them to the Air Force Association and what it can do for them in terms of advocacy, assistance, commemoration and camaraderie.
