It is a privilege for the Nelson Meers Foundation to be supporting THE HOME FRONT, a documentary that examines the plight of our modern veterans through the eyes and in the words of the veterans themselves. It seeks to ignite a national conversation about the main elements of the problems: PTSD, depression, suicide, substance abuse, family breakdowns. Following a free-to-air broadcast, there will be a national outreach/impact campaign aimed at highlighting the issues to decision-makers to prompt change, whilst bringing isolated veterans into the community embrace.

The way in which we treat those who have served in the defence of our nation and commemorate their service and sacrifice is surely a measure of a civilised society.  The Home Front played an important part in the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide, and continues to advocate for the treatment of our veterans with dignity and respect through the film’s Impact Campaign.
