 Leaving the Defence Force is not easy for everyone. Some may have spent most of their lives serving, and others may be discharging under unfortunate circumstances such as medical impairments. Whatever the reason, we understand that the transition to civilian life can be a difficult one. Defence knows this too. That’s why they offer up to $1,000 towards seeing a financial adviser through the Defence Force Transition Program (DFTP). How do I know if I have access to these funds?
You will be able to claim the $1,000 for financial advice if you:
If you aren’t sure if you qualify for this program, feel free to reach out to your transition coach or contact us for further guidance. What will these funds get me? Every person will be different, but generally these funds will cover at least two appointments. These include:
How do I get this funding? The first step is to reach out to us for a DFTP quote. If you’d like to have the quote sent directly to your transition coach, you can provide us their email address. Otherwise, we will send this quote to you to then pass on to your transition coach. It then becomes your responsibility to follow up with your coach if approval is not returned. Once the quote has been approved by your coach they will issue you with a Determination Minute. Once you have received this, please send it through to us so that we can book you in for your first appointment. Please note that we do not invoice against your DFTP funding until after your appointment. Feel free to view or print our DFTP timeline here or get in touch with our office if you have further questions or concerns. Comments are closed.
