One of the aims of the Fleet Air Arm Association of Australia is to:

• assist with the welfare of former and serving naval aviation personnel and their families.

Each of the FAAAA's Divisions has a contact officer who has a good general knowledge of health and welfare issues, and how to access help.

If you have a problem, and are uncertain where to find help, contact one of these FAAAA members for advice.

If you do not know the name or contact details of the welfare officer for your division, please contact the divisional secretary for advice. Contact details are on this website.

Other sources of help

A number of government agencies and other ex-service organisations also provide advice and help.

RSL

Part of the RSL mission statement reads:

• to ensure that programs are in place for the well-being, care, compensation and commemoration of serving and ex-service Defence Force members and their dependants

Local sub-branches of the RSL are usually the first place for members to contact for help on health and welfare problems.
