Registrations open: Veterans Employment Workshop

Veterans have a wealth of transferable skills and experience that align with roles across the Victorian public sector.

The Victorian Government is committed to supporting veterans to secure meaningful roles that match their skills and interests.


To support veterans moving into the post-service workforce, we’re hosting an information and networking session this month.

Session details:

  • Date: Wednesday 28 October 2026
  • Time: 8:30 am – 1 pm
  • Location: Level 1, 50 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne


During the session, veterans will have an opportunity to:

  • connect with HR representatives
  • network with employers and employees from the Victorian public sector
  • learn how their service skills and experience can translate to a rewarding career in the public sector
  • create connections with other veterans.


Don’t miss this opportunity to explore rewarding new pathways, expand your professional network and take the next step in your career journey.

More information: Registrations close on Friday 23 October 2026.
