This report presents findings from a three year in depth study into the health and wellbeing of Australian female veterans. 

Empirical research was collected through face-to-face interviews with 60 female veterans who had deployed from the Vietnam era onwards, including Vietnam, Rwanda, the Gulf War, Cambodia, Timor Leste, Bougainville, Solomon Islands, Iraq and Afghanistan. The sample were a heterogeneous group comprising women from Army, Airforce and Navy, soldier and officer categories, and a range of ages, ranks and lengths of service. A third of women in the study had deployed more than once, some up to four times.  Women represented a range of occupational categories, including health, administration, communications, transport, logistics, signals, engineering, and intelligence.
