The Bouverie Centre is proud to be a founding member of the VF-LINK Consortium, led by Phoenix Australia and funded by the Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs.
This initiative brings together Australia’s leading researchers, alongside veteran and families of veterans advisors, to improve the health and wellbeing of our veteran community. By bridging the gap between research and practice, we are ensuring that those who have served—and their families—receive support backed by the best possible evidence.
What is the VF-LINK model?
VF-LINK stands for the Veteran and Family – Learning and Innovation Network of Knowledge. It is a new research and evaluation model designed to improve the health and wellbeing of Australian veterans and families of veterans.
Over the next five years, the VF-LINK model aims to bridge the gap between research and practice by increasing the production, translation, and sharing of high-quality evidence.
Who is involved in the VF-LINK Consortium?
The VF-LINK Consortium is the collaborative network of Australia’s leading research organisations (research partners) and subject matter experts, supported by veteran and families of veterans advisors, and is responsible for carrying out research and evaluation work under the VF-LINK model.
The VF-LINK Consortium was established by, and is led, by Phoenix Australia (affiliated with the University of Melbourne) and was awarded through a competitive tender process.
