About
Us
The Vietnam Veterans
Federation of Australia (VVFA) and its affiliated
partners Vietnam Veterans Peacekeepers & Peacemakers
Association of Australia (VVPPAA) is dedicated to the
welfare of ALL service and ex-service personnel and their
families. We have no other aim. Our organisation is made
up of volunteers who chose to help veterans in need. If
you are a sick veteran, and you suspect your sickness may
have been caused by your war service, we invite you to
consult one of our trained volunteers who man our
Branches and Sub-Branches throughout all States of
Australia.
We rely upon continued
membership and your valued donations to keep our offices
doors open throughout Australia. Many of our offices have
regular fund raising events and/or raffles, so why not
attend and give your support where you can.

If you want to know how and
why the Vietnam Veteran Federation and its affiliates
began go HERE
CONFUSED ?
Confused about this
organisation and other Vietnam Veterans associations
?
The best explanation is that
we are the VIETNAM VETERANS FEDERATION of AUSTRALIA INC.
We have branches in all States of Australia and the ACT.
Our New South Wales branch, located at Granville, is also
the Federations Head Office, and we are incorporated as
the VIETNAM VETERANS PEACEKEEPERS & PEACEMAKERS
ASSOCIATION of AUSTRALIA (NEW SOUTH WALES BRANCH)
Inc.
We have no affiliation with
the Vietnam Veterans Association of Australia
incorporated in Victoria. The St. Mary's Outpost is not
part of our Federation. Several years ago we
disaffiliated from this body and formed our own
FEDERATION, and we were joined shortly thereafter by
other States unhappy with the National Council of the
VVAA.

A Word from the NSW Membership Officer. Two
Members in the One Family. From time to time we receive
calls asking why households with more than one
Association member receive a copy of the quarterly
Journal for each member. Whilst we thank you for your
concern that costs are duplicated for these households we
do have an obligation to ensure each member receives the
Journal. Additionally, our data system does not have the
capacity to single out individuals who do not want the
Journal. May we suggest that you consider distributing
any spare copies to veterans or ex-service persons who
may not yet be a member of our Association. RAN/RAAF
Service NumbersOccasionally we receive a query relating
to incorrect service numbers. The appropriate field on
our computer system does not allow for letters, only
numbers. This means that service numbers for the RAN
members are minus the “R” and RAAF members the
“A”.
