The Department of Veterans’ Affairs has commissioned a research project to look at the capacity of the veterans’ advocacy workforce. Ex-service organisations (ESOs) and Advocates will soon be invited to complete surveys asking them about their support capacity and their plans for the future of their advocacy workforce. This will provide vital information about whether current advocates plan to continue providing advocacy services, and for how long. This project will help both ESOs and DVA understand the future capacity of the advocacy workforce.
