South Australia
P.V.A. SOUTH AUSTRALIA Inc. is dedicated to supporting partners and families of defence and ex-defence personnel. We offer assistance through our network of groups and local contacts by providing information, support and understanding. The national magazine, the SA newsletter, the SA page on the national website, provide informed information and advocate for their issues to the government. Our groups meet regularly, offering friendship with activities such as lunches, guest speaker talks, discussions on welfare and health issues, and extraordinary events like a dinner out or a trip to a local attraction.
