AmCham Members Pledge to:
'Give a Vet a Go'


Each year, approximately 6,000 people discharge from the Australian Defence Force from more than 200 different roles. They bring with them a myriad of skills and experiences of great benefit to the private sector. These include: world-class training, technical skills, teamwork and character. Many of these skills are highly transferrable including leadership, risk management, communication, problem solving and critical thinking. 

The ‘Give a Vet a Go’ Pledge encourages all hiring organisations to consider the diverse capabilities and applicable experiences veterans can bring.

If you would like to confirm your support or if you have any questions, please contact our General Manager Government Relations Amie O'Mahony directly at [email protected].
