I thought I would put together another episode for the new Defence Partners. The ones who are trying to get their heads around all things Defence life. The ones who are finding their feet when it comes to figuring out the good bits, the not-so-good bits and the\u2026what the bits. On PART TWO, I talk all about two big Defence Life topics; -Housing options and Defence Housing Australia (DHA) -TOLL the organisation tasked with moving us to and from our posting locations We also hear from a handful of Defence Partners who have previously detailed their spouse journey with us on past episodes. They answer the question- What have you learnt about Defence life? As you will hear, our experiences are all unique yet have so many common threads that run so deep and connect us. On the next episode of the Military Life Podcast, we\u2019ll talk about the Partner Employment Assistance Program (PEAP), the ADF Health Program and related benefits, accessing FREE Mental Health support via Open Arms and other avenues, and so much more.
