Welcome

As a member of the Australian Defence Force family your financial welfare is very important to us. Having secure and well-planned finances is widely known to be a key factor in your mental and physical well-being. Too often we hear about our people running into trouble with their money because of poor planning or bad advice. The Service Chiefs and I recognise that Defence does many good things to help our people with their money, and by establishing the ADF Financial Services Consumer Council, we now have an expert group available to enhance that work.

The Australian Defence Force is much better served by people who are financially strong, and who make the correct decisions about financial products and services. Financial peace of mind allows all of us to get on with our mission - defending Australia and its national interest.
