I’m proud to announce the Greens’ support for the RSL Tasmania’s 2025 State Election commitment priorities.
The Greens are strong supporters of our veterans community. We believe it is critically important for governments to acknowledge the service and sacrifice of veterans and their families with real, meaningful policy that supports people, in increasingly tough times.
The Greens are committing $5.24 million per year to extend state-based concessions currently available to DVA Pensioner Concession Card holders, to DVA Veteran Card holders. This would save the average Veteran Card holder, who does not also hold a Pensioner Concession Card, approximately $1,000 per year.
I am also pleased to also support RSL Tasmania’s calls for:
- $1.8 million for RSL Tasmania’s Acute Housing Program;
- An annual $1.2 million investment in the VeteranHub model;
- Commitments to collaborate on reform and support employment initiatives.
The Greens stand with veterans and RSL Tasmania in calling on all candidates in the election to commit to policies that offer support for people who have given so much to our country.
