Systematic reviews of psychological disorders, multisymptom illness and chronic fatigue syndrome in veterans deployed to the Gulf War, Afghanistan or Iraq War
This study reviewed the existing Australian and international research to compare rates of psychological disorders (depression, posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], alcohol use disorders, substance use disorders, generalised anxiety disorder [GAD]), multisymptom illness and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in Gulf War and Afghanistan/Iraq War veterans with military comparison groups not deployed to those conflicts.
Younger veterans’ transitions to civilian occupations: the role of further education
The project analyses the educational choices made by Australian Defence Force (ADF) veterans. It studies the success of their subsequent labour market outcomes, compared to those who returned to the ADF after training, and compared to the broader group of civilians who undertook the same type of training, and with whom they will be competing in the civilian labour market. The project aims to provide young veterans with information on their future labour market prospects arising from investments in further education through Vocational Education and Training (VET).
