In May, 2012, theFamily Action Centre was proudly part of the Defence Family Forum after delivering 2 year's of ABCD training workshops and follow up throughout Australia to all Defence Community Organisation staff members.

Excerpt:

The Defence Family Forum was held at Darling Harbour in Sydney 30 April to 2 May 2012. During the event, attended by around 300 Defence families, senior military personnel and Defence support organisations, Defence families explored the military way of life, the future of family support, and Defence families role in leading and shaping the wider Australian community.

Defence will use the thoughts, ideas and information gathered at the Forum to engage Defence and civilian community organisations in collective support of Defence families.
