Australian Institute of Family Studies

This project explores the role of families in the rehabilitation of seriously wounded, injured or ill Australian Defence Force members.

The findings of this research will help the Department of Defence (Joint Health Command) understand:

• the changes (positive or negative) that families may experience when their loved ones are seriously wounded, injured or ill while serving in the Australian Defence Force
• the positive contributions families can make to the rehabilitation
• how Defence can maximise positive outcomes for families and Defence members.
