Getting to know your new home
When you receive a posting order, you can obtain detailed regional information for your new posting location. Find out what’s on offer in your new home by clicking on your state and area in our Community connection section, or by contacting the Defence Family Helpline on 1800 624 608.
Our specialised team members, Family Liaison Officers and Community Development Officers, have extensive knowledge of local services and communities and can provide you with advice, information and referral, before or during your posting.
Regional Education Liaison Officers, or REDLOs, are teachers who can advise you about local education systems, schools, education issues and support available for Defence students.
For more details about REDLOs, click on the REDLOs tab in our Children's education support section.
You can connect with your local FLOs, CDOs or REDLOs by calling the all-hours Defence Family Helpline on 1800 624 608.
