Western Australia
WESTERN AUSTRALIA P.V.A. Inc. provides support, information, friendship and understanding to all partners, ex-partners, widows/widowers, and family members of current or former members of the ADF and its allies. The friendship you will find here is like no other: there is no need to explain the ups and downs of life with a veteran. You will find the kindness and support you need with like-minded members, whether it be through trained welfare officers, information sessions, or catching up with a support group in your area for coffee, lunch or an outing.
