In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, Renee Wilson joins host Phil Tarrant to announce the rebrand of War Widows NSW to the Families of Veterans Guild, and how the organisation has a renewed mission to support all veteran family members.
- The podcast begins by detailing the reason behind the rebrand and how the organisation will support all family members of veterans who have quietly served behind ADF members.
- Wilson then outlines the history of War Widows NSW and how the newly rebranded Families of Veterans Guild is rising to the challenge to fill the gaps between existing veterans’ organisations, including providing support to family members of veterans who may not meet stringent eligibility criteria of current groups.
- The pair then unpack how the Families of Veterans Guild will work alongside other veterans’ organisations to help serve former ADF members and their families.
