The Defence Family Advocate
Charlotte Webb
The Defence Family Advocate provides advice to Government and Defence on families’ concerns, provides a forum for families to raise matters and assists families in accessing the Defence information they need.
The National Delegates
Our National Delegates represent the families of current serving ADF members across different regions in Australia, reporting directly to the Defence Family Advocate to contribute to and inform DFA strategy. Ministerially appointed delegates located near garrison areas ensures an on-the-ground presence, enabling us to stay closely connected to the realities of Defence family life. By listening, engaging, and elevating the issues that matter most, we can accurately elevate the day-to-day experiences of families. These
insights are developed and presented to senior Defence leaders, including the Minister for Defence Personnel (MINDP) and the Chief of the Defence Force (CDF).
