New name for family support group
THE Defence
Families of Australia (DFA) is the new official name for the National
Consultative Group of Service Families (NCGSF).
Despite a substantial growth in members and an increasing awareness
of the group within Defence, the NCGSF has often battled with its
long name.
National convenor Judy Swann said for more than 16 years the organisation
has been an effective group within Defence.
“The DFA is made up of Defence spouses and we represent the interests
of families – our former name has always been hard to pronounce
and remember,” she said.
The DFA provided a forum for Defence families to have a say about
Defence life and what things could be improved to enhance their quality
of life.
