Full Description:: Posttraumatic stress affects many Australians including veterans, especially those exposed to trauma. Particularly in the last decade, Australia has contributed to operations that expose our military to a wide range of difficult and dangerous circumstances, raising the level of concern for all those involved.

This seminar will discuss PTSD from multiple perspectives (clinical, veteran, family, command), explore the divergent reports from academia, and those ‘at the coal face’, highlight the current state of affairs and discuss potential pathways forward.
