Soldier On launches podcast

National veteran support organisation Soldier On is launching a new 10-part podcast series.

The new podcast, ‘Saluting Their Service: Contemporary Voices of Bravery’ gives Defence personnel, veterans and their families the opportunity to share their lived experiences in their own words.

The series provides a respectful and authentic platform for stories of service, resilience and transition, covering themes such as leadership, identity, mental health and life after Defence. Each episode features an in-depth conversation that reflects the opportunities and challenges veterans and their families navigate in their journey beyond service.

The production of this podcast was made possible through funding from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA).

Soldier On chief executive officer Paul Singer said the series strengthens the connection between Defence members, veterans and the wider Australian community.

“This podcast honours the service and sacrifice of our Defence people while also shining a light on the resilience, skills and ongoing contributions they make beyond their time in uniform,” he said.

“We hope it encourages conversation, connection and understanding across the Defence and veteran community.”

Soldier On’s Saluting Their Service: Contemporary Voices of Bravery podcast series will be available across major podcast platforms from October 8.
