Australian Government, Open Arms - Veterans and Families Counselling

A service founded by Vietnam Veterans, now for all veterans and families

Open Arms acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. We recognise and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the First Peoples of Australia and their continuing spiritual and cultural connection to land, sea and community.
