SED Report – July 2025
The last SED Meeting was held on Thursday 3rd July 2025.
The meeting was preceded by an address by invited guest speaker, Tara Hazismalis, DVA Deputy Commissioner QLD. The address included the following subjects:
- The Royal Commission
- Task Force on a Wellbeing Agency and Establishment of a Peak Body
- Recent Changes to Claims’ Lodgement with the Department
- MyService Improvements
- Prime Minister’s Veteran Employment Awards Nominations
- Korean Veterans Day
Not surprising, the subject matter sparked a lot of interest among the Delegates and generated many questions. So much so, that the address and questions consumed more than half of the total meeting time. For those interested, a full transcript of the Address and Questions, all nine pages, can be obtained by clicking here.
The meeting followed with an address by SED President Kerry Gallagher AM, who emphasised that this Council forum is to exchange information, get to know each other, understand what other Sub Branches are doing and for SED to get to know what you expect of District. He further emphasised that it is not a forum to resolve grievances which sadly occurred during the Modern Veterans’ Forum (MVF) report in his absence from the previous meeting. There is a tribunal that has been established for years to resolve differences that can’t be resolved quietly and professionally at District level.
The usual routine business consumed the remainder of the meeting.
