Navigating life after service – Defence launches transition support app

BATTLE OF BRITAIN ‘LACE’

The Department of Defence has launched a free mobile app designed to support Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel and families as they navigate their transition to civilian life. 

The ADF Transition Guide app, developed by the Joint Transition Authority (JTA), brings together the most up to date transition resources from Defence, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs and the broader transition support system. 

These resources will guide personnel and families through every step of the transition journey, helping them to prepare with confidence, find meaningful support, and make informed decisions about their next steps. 

The app was created with the understanding that each transition journey is unique, and that support needs may change based on individual circumstances and at what point in the transition journey someone is. 

Whether you’re considering transition, supporting someone through theirs, or want to stay informed about transition requirements and available support services, then the ADF Transition Guide is for you.
