Our Defence Community

Behind every ADF member there is an even stronger family who stands with them, supports them, and loves them with all their heart.


You are my favourite hello, and my hardest goodbye


 

Australian Defence Force Members, Families, and our Community

Our ADF family, and the Australian community are two of the most significant social institutions in the development of our daily lives for each individual. Together they shape who we are, and fill us with values, define what we consider to be normal and challenged and teach us about what is achievable together.

Our Defence Community page provides resource ideas to assist families to grow in faith and to nurture their family spirituality. We aim to help single people and parents enrich their family life and to recognise the presence of God in their daily activities whilst providing other avenues to find forms of support in relation to the Australian Defence Force life.

You can phone Lifeline to speak to a Crisis Supporter on 13 11 14, text 0477 131 114 or chat to Lifeline online at www.lifeline.org.au (all services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week)

Our Families

“The family is important, and it is necessary for the survival of humanity. Without the family, the cultural survival of the human race would be at risk. The family, whether we like it or not, is the foundation.
Pope Francis, Radio Interview, Brazil, July 27th, 2013
