The VSO will also work as part of a team to provide outreach services to variety of locations inclusive of Defence bases, industry employers, ESOs and regional communities of identified need.

**Duties**
- Provide high-quality, personalised service to current and former veterans of the ADF in line with the DVA Cultural Vision and national VSO Policies, Procedures and Key Performance Indicators as implemented
- Provide advice and interpretation, including in writing, on complex aspects of legislation to clients and colleagues
- Develop strong partnerships with key stakeholders including Command elements, ADF Rehabilitation Program (ADFRP), Veteran Employment Industry and ESOs to enhance service delivery to the veteran community
- Work closely with relevant areas of Defence, including the Joint Transition Authority, to support the delivery of services and activities which may be accessed/considered during the relevant stages of transition
- Perform representational and outreach activities, including presentations to ADF seminars, veteran advocate training sessions, etc., as required
- Assist with the development and maintenance of a VSO national training continuum for all new and incumbent VSO staff, ensuring that service delivery to veterans and their families remains consistent and contemporary
- Assist with the review and update of internal operating instructions and procedures used by VSOs in day-to-day business
- Design and review presentations to support ADF members, including internal content to maintain and upskill VSOs to provide a contemporary service to ADF members. It also includes designing and reviewing external content that is visible to veterans and their families
- Provide support to the continuous improvement/quality assurance process through training and feedback to staff
- Manage Defence Notifications functions provided to DVA by Defence, identifying vulnerable clients and assisting with next steps of support by way of expediting initial liability claims and/or onward referral to VSOs for face-to-face support
- Demonstrate an understanding of matters relevant to DVA services and entitlements in line with the government’s focus on transitioning members, particularly those transitioning from the ADF involuntarily
- Work closely with the national VSO team and relevant areas of DVA and the Defence community, to support the delivery of services for veterans
- Provide early identification of persons at risk or with high needs for referral support to DVA’s Client Support Program.
