Ms Jacqui McCrum:

We do not provide medical cover for retired personnel. There are very active veterans' organisations such as the Organisation of National Ex-Service Personnel, which provides a lot of support. The Department would allocate funding to veterans' organisations but the Organisation of National Ex-Service Personnel is the one that provides a lot of those services to retired people and people who may fall on hard times.

It provides it through accommodation and it has a link with a mental health provider to support them on that.
