I am proud to be the NSW Minister for Veterans and unequivocally support the NSW Veterans Employment Program (VEP) in its continued efforts to help ensure the NSW Government benefits from the skills and experience veterans gain during their military service. The VEP's focus on collaboration and diversity is supported by a growing network of advocates across the NSW Public Sector, including senior executives, hiring managers and human resource personnel. The Program continues to develop its initiatives to engage with veterans and find effective ways to support them in their career transition from the Australian Defence Force. The NSW Government made a commitment in November 2018 to extend the VEP for a further four years. I’m very pleased to say that the Program is currently on track to meet the Premier's goal of supporting 1000 veterans into Public Sector employment by 2023, and I look forward to supporting the VEP team as they move into this next phase
