Become a member of the Northern Territory Veterans’ Affairs Ministerial Advisory Council

The Northern Territory Government invites applications from people interested in becoming a member of the Northern Territory Veterans’ Affairs Ministerial Advisory Council as positions become available.

Members will be expected to actively contribute and provide advice to the Northern Territory Minister for Veterans on issues affecting serving and ex-serving members of the Australian Defence Force and their families in the Territory.

Individuals should demonstrate the capacity to represent the interest of the Territory veteran community and have an understanding of local community issues. The ‘veterans’ community’ is inclusive of people with a direct link to defence service or a veteran.

This may include widows, partners, parents, children, siblings and relatives of ex-servicemen and women, and doesn’t exclude anyone with an evident link to, or interest in matters associated with veterans’ welfare or wellbeing. Everyone who is in this community is encouraged to apply.

Appointment to the council is for an initial period of 3 years.
