Advocacy Services.  

 The Association has seven qualified voluntary advocates who continue to work hard for the Association and the needs of all veterans and their families.  All advocates have completed the advocacy course through the Department of Veterans’ Affairs and the service operates as a team through the Leeuwin barracks.  Assistance is given to ex serving members and current serving members.  Assistance is not restricted to residents of W.A. and may be given to persons living in other states.  If you have previously had a claim unsuccessful please contact our office for assistance.  The Association has been told it provides an excellent service to serving members and has now been included as part of their draft out routine.  The Association has now been recognised by the taxation office and is deemed a charitable organization such that any donations are tax deductible.  It is important to note that this advocacy service is provided free of charge to all who seek help.  Upon success of the claim the applicant may make a donation towards the Association.  As there is no fee for membership, and no fee for service, it is these kind donations that keep the Association afloat enabling members to help others.  Donations from anyone accessing this website would be most appreciated and will be acknowledged in our newsletter in the letters of appreciation section.  Please make cheques payable to ANVVWA WA (INC.) and post to P.O.Box 69, North Fremantle, W.A. 6159.

LEEUWIN  ADVOCATE  OFFICE

    The official opening ceremony of our office at the old HMAS LEEUWIN took place at 1300 Wednesday 18th October. Among those present was Rear Admiral Philip Kennedy AO RAN (Ret.) who presented a HMAS PERTH poster to army representatives for display in the building. Patron of the ANVVWA WA (Inc.)., Commander Vince Di Pietro was unable to attend due to a crash “draft” to another appointment.

    During the presentation, Rear Admiral Kennedy reminisced to the days when his father was commanding officer at Leeuwin and he a child playing among the buildings. He also expressed deep regret at the Navy losing Leeuwin however we have gained much benefit over the years from the many training programs conducted at this site. Not the least of which was the junior recruit program so successful in recruiting and maintaining large numbers of personnel.

    Chairman China outlined events leading to our procurement of the office and its role in serving the veteran community. In addition, advocacy from here is designed to assist serving members of the Australian Defence Force. Located in the ‘Sick Bay’ building makes for convenience as a joint services team of medical professionals service in excess of three thousand service personnel from this site. No doubt some will have need to make use of our service at some time and our advocates will work closely with resident medical staff.

    It was a bit ‘different” to see our Navy medical people working with ‘Swotties’ however, on reflection we often used to say our defence force should be combined - its only taken about 30 years and the obvious branches have taken the step. Medical, stores, areas of common training, etc.

     For those planning a visit to our new office It is open 1000 - 1400 Tues, Wed, Thursday. Go in the main gate, take the first turn right (up the hill) and the medical centre is on your left, opposite the Sgts Mess (the old Senior Rates Mess). If you see an ambulance parked in front “you are at the right place”. Those wishing to use the service should telephone for appointment on (08) 9311 2719.
