What is an ex-service organisation

An ex-service organisation (ESO) supports current and former ADF members and their families.

They can support you with:

  • advocacy services to access payments and other benefits
  • visitation services at home, hospital or an aged care home
  • seeking financial help, employment or vocational studies
  • social activities to make friendships and to improve general health and wellbeing.

They also support you by lobbying governments for better services and payments to live a meaningful life.
