Defence Families of Australia (DFA) is the official body appointed by government to represent the views of Defence Families. Its aim is to inform government and Defence on the needs of the family. Its goal is to ensure quality of life for all Defence families by providing a recognised forum for their views and by reporting, making recommendations and influencing policy that directly affects families. In turn, this enhances the capability of the Australian Defence Force. DFA consults with Defence’s own support agencies, like the Defence Community Organisation (DCO) and the National Welfare Coordination Centre (NWCC), but acts only as an advocate, not as a support provider. Defence families can contact DFA to represent them regarding an individual situation or to advocate an issue concerning many families. The office is only funded part-time, so phone messages are checked Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. For immediate help please call the Defence Community Organisation (DCO) 24 hour Defence Family Helpline on 1800 624 608.
