A report commissioned by the Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs.

This literature review investigates whether family members can affect how well service personnel transition out of the military. It synthesises and assesses the evidence on whether family characteristics and behaviours act as risk or protective factors for transitioning personnel, and notes gaps and limitations in the available research.

This report was authored by AIFS staff and published by the Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs.
