The Tasmanian Government is committed to supporting the health and wellbeing of Tasmanian veterans. As part of that commitment, the Veteran Wellbeing Voucher Program is open to Tasmanian veterans.

We asked five Tasmanian veterans, Don Ryan, Joshua Weir, Chris Bakon, Jen Smith and Carlo Novak what they thought about the importance of mental and physical health, the benefits of social contacts and what they do to maintain their wellbeing.

In the videos (above), the veterans discuss the Veteran Wellbeing Voucher Program and how it benefits their mental and physical health.

The objective of the Program is to enable veteran’s participation in healthy activities that will support their health and wellbeing and assist in developing social networks.

The free Program is open to eligible Tasmanian veterans who may apply for a voucher of up to $100 to put towards the cost of registration or membership fees at participating gyms and sporting clubs.

Gyms and sports clubs will also benefit by an opportunity to grow their membership and will be reimbursed for each voucher they accept. The program is open to gyms and clubs throughout Tasmania.
