Again, I thank Senator Fawcett for the question. I am pleased to advise the Senate that the second meeting of PMAC is taking place today here in Parliament House. The first meeting of the PMAC, which took place earlier this year, generated some important conversations in this vital area. A particular outcome of the first meeting was the development of a peer-to-peer forum designed to bring together a wide range of organisations and individuals who are able to provide support to our veterans and their families. I am pleased to advise senators that this important forum, supported by both my department and the Department of Defence, will be held at the Australian War Memorial tomorrow. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the chair, Vice Admiral Russ Crane, Ben Roberts-Smith VC and all the PMAC for their efforts and endeavours. I look forward to working with the council about future initiatives to support our veterans into the future. (Time expired)
