Events
Defence Community Organisation hosts a variety of events in support of Defence families.
Every year, to coincide with the posting cycle, DCO Area Offices host social events around the country to welcome Defence families into the local community.
In partnership with Command, DCO Area Offices also host National Families Week events most years, providing Defence families with a great opportunity to take time out to enjoy some entertainment and social activities.
DCO also sponsors or hosts community-based social gatherings for families of deployed members. These aim to promote networking, connect families with their local communities, and to reinforce the valuable role of Defence families in support of the Australian Defence force.
Events are designed to meet the needs of local Defence families and will reflect local interest and availability. Examples may include:
- Family days and trips
- Fitness activities
- Community projects
- Workshops and classes
- Self help groups
- Social evening and activities for partners and families
