Life After Defence (LAD)

Life After Defence (LAD) is a veteran owned and run business designed to help both current and ex-serving members of the Australian Defence Force and their families.

We created LAD to assist veterans and current serving members in accessing entitlements that they are eligible for due to the lack of transparency of information on discharge. We found after discharging, entitlement and support organisations policies and processes were quite complex and sometimes unknown to those discharging.

It is our mission to help as many service men and women navigate the entitlements process as quickly and easily as possible to not only get what they are entitled to, but to also be able to move on to the next chapter of their lives with as much positivity and support as possible.
