Police Veterans Victoria Inc. is a not-for-profit organisation that supports Victoria Police Veterans and their families. They are the only organisation with a dedicated focus on improving mental health amongst Victoria Police Veterans and their families.
Veteran Peer Support Officers (VPSO’s) are police veterans who are trained to provide confidential support and referral services to those that may be experiencing mental health issues including PTSD, depression, anxiety, social isolation, alcohol and substance abuse.
Our VPSOs are not counsellors and do not make psychological assessments but they do have access to various resources including psychologists, chaplaincy and other support services.
We recognise that family members can also be impacted, and our service is extended to them.
