Anyone who has served in the Australian Defence Force - past or present - as well as their loved ones, families, carers, and veteran support organisations are being asked to submit their feedback on the draft SA Health Veteran Wellbeing Action Plan 2023-26 plan via YourSAy.
The plan has been developed in collaboration with the Veterans' Health Advisory Council to improve access to health services and mental health programs, as well as streamline treatment and referral pathways and social supports.
It also details how data will be collected to help improve SA Health services for veterans.
Consultation on the draft SA Health Veteran Wellbeing Action Plan 2023-26 is open until Tuesday, February 28.
The veteran community is encouraged to provide feedback on the plan via a short survey, which takes approximately 10-20 minutes to complete.

Veterans' affairs minister Geoff Brock said the responses would make a difference to how the state shape care now and into the future.
"We want to deliver the very best possible health services to all South Australians who have served," he said.
"If you are a veteran, or care for one, this is your chance to tell us what we're getting right and where we can improve."
