As part of TPI Veterans NSW commitment to all members, The Board and the TPI NSW Executive are on the road and visiting regional Australia. And what a warm welcome we received at the Ex-Servicemen’s Club in Orange this week.<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
President Kevin Kelly, Vice President Harry Lowe and board member and champion of the constitutional reform project, Phil Hurren, were joined in Orange by TPI NSW CEO Jenny-Jane Carpenter and supported by Wellbeing Facilitator Vanessa Campbell. Together they presented with Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) Deputy Commissioner Katrina Jocumsen (NSW\/ACT) and TPI Federation President Scott Jeffrey.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Topics included the incoming changes to DVA special rate pensions and a broad range of benefits, the TPI NSW amendments to the Constitution, and a range of improvements to service and new services such as Veteran Family and Welfare Hubs in regions across NSW being implemented by DVA.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Hosting sessions across two days, we had an opportunity to connect with members and their supporters across the Central Tablelands.<\/div>\n
