This year, Veterans’ Health Week (VHW) is being held from 8 to 15 October 2023 and is themed Mental Wellness Matters. The theme aims to promote good health and wellbeing in the everyday life of veterans and families, and shines a spotlight on the importance of mental health. Events can be held two weeks before and two weeks after these dates. For a list of event opportunities, check out the NSW Event Calendar.
