When the current Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs took her position back in 2019, "she" made a pledge to the Veteran Community and public in General.

If Liz Cosson could not turn around the poor image of the DVA within 12 months, then she would quit.

Now in 2022 we have some 60,000 plus outstanding claims for Initial Liability, Veterans have been warned to expect 600+ day delays.

Ms Cosson has recently accepted the fact that the unreasonable delay in processing claims would contribute to Veteran Suicide.

Following the Jesse Bird enquiry, measures were put in place to offer Financial Assistance to Veterans who currently had a Mental Health claim in.

These claims and claims for Incapacity payments have blown out to 6 plus months, leaving many Veterans being told by DVA staff to apply to Centrelink or find alternate means of Income or Support.

Liz Cosson made the pledge and refuses to again Keep her "WORD".

We ask the community to get behind signing the Petition so that the petition can be presented to the next appointed Minister for DVA following the Election, the Minister has the authority to remove and replace the secretary.
