Just another amazing example of our Founder and Operator supporting the community ❤️

At Rockingham City FC, we're incredibly fortunate to have the support of local businesses that genuinely believe in the power of community sport and AVAC Services is a perfect example.

Founded by Rockingham local Kristian Lannu, AVAC Services proudly sponsors our club because they understand the important role grassroots football plays in bringing people together. Growing up in Rockingham as part of a Navy family, Kristian has seen firsthand the positive impact that sporting clubs can have on young people and families, particularly within a community so closely connected to HMAS Stirling and the Australian Defence Force.

For many children, football is far more than a game. It provides friendship, stability, support and a sense of belonging, especially during times when parents may be away on deployment or service commitments. Supporting Rockingham City FC is AVAC Services' way of giving back to the local community and helping create opportunities for future generations.

Kristian's support extends well beyond sponsorship too. Earlier this season he proudly pulled on the boots and represented AVAC Services in the Ceramico Cup, and throughout the year can often be found between the sticks for one of our social football teams.

From everyone at Rockingham City FC, thank you to Kristian and the entire AVAC Services team for your ongoing support of our club, our players and our community.

We look forward to continuing the journey together throughout the 2026 season and beyond.

An accredited advocate should be easily accessible for all ex-service members.

Half of the nation's veteran population sits entirely outside the DVA system. Because these veterans have never engaged with DVA or an advocate, their spouses, partners, and children are automatically missing out on 100% of the family entitlements they could be accessing.

From doctors and specialist referrals to complex paperwork, an Advocate exists to ensure this is easy to manage for every family member, so nothing gets missed.

This pathway can unlock fully funded private and public specialist healthcare for eligible veterans and their families.

AVAC is veteran-owned, for veterans. We exist to simplify the DVA system and help those who’ve served get the support their entire household deserves.

Rachelle from the AVAC Services team is in WA this week attending the Indian Ocean Defence & Security Conference, connecting with industry leaders and continuing important conversations around advocacy and legal support for serving and ex-serving members.

From Townsville to Perth, it’s incredible to see the veteran and defence community come together to share ideas, build partnerships and support those who have served.

Yes, it’s cold. Yes, it was a long flight. But opportunities like this are always worth it! Rachelle said she is proud to represent a company so passionate about supporting the veteran community across Australia. 🇦🇺

Navigating the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) claims process has historically been one of the most significant pain points for Australian veterans.

Ironically, the process of claiming support for a mental health condition often actively worsens a veteran's mental state. According to the 2026 Veteran Wellness Index, the complexity and adversarial feel of the system are so severe that 51% of younger veterans (aged 18–49) report avoiding seeking mental health support altogether because the process is just too hard to navigate. Furthermore, roughly two-thirds of younger veterans report experiencing increased stress or anxiety simply from attempting to access support.

AVAC were incredibly proud to stand alongside PTSD Resurrected inc as naming partners for their annual charity gala.

Hearing our owner Kristian Lannu speak openly about his lived experiences following medical discharge was both powerful and emotional. Stories like his are exactly why AVAC are so passionate about supporting our veteran community.

Attending with our owners Kristian and Amber McCasker, together with our QLD team — all veterans and veteran spouses united by the same passion for supporting those who have served.

If you or someone you know needs support, please reach out.

Having a social life or a hobby is huge, and it is not something you should ever be held back from doing.

Issues like tinnitus and social anxiety make social settings and hobbies much harder, if not impossible, for a lot of ex-service members to deal with. These are also issues that often get worse with time and are frequently left unchecked because they were "tolerable" when you first left the service.

Under the new rules, if your condition has worsened by at least 5 points, you can trigger a new PI assessment. If you’ve been "putting up with it" for years and it’s getting harder to manage, now is the time to review your file before the transition to the Single Act model on July 1, 2026.

It is free to fill out an enquiry form.
It is free to book an appointment with a case manager.
Free advice, education and guidance.

Veteran owned & operated, AVAC is a specialist DVA claims advocate service, providing expert and compassionate guidance through claims, reviews and appeals.
