昆士兰州州长David Crisafulli宣布推出《2026-32年退伍军人及其家属战略》，该计划将通过整合教育就业、卫生、住房支持及创业等多个领域的措施，支持该州约163,000名退伍军人的发展，占州人口比例达2.8%[1]。州长表示这一战略旨在将退伍军人融入劳动力市场，从而推动经济增长[1]。
该战略涵盖五大支柱：教育和就业、卫生、住房和支持、退伍军人创业以及社区、体育、纪念和表彰[1]。在地域分布上，布里斯班约3.2%的居民是退伍军人，而汤斯维尔的这一比例最高，达到9.1%[1]。与此同时，全州约有23,000名现役军人或预备役人员[1]。
RSL昆士兰州主席Stephen少将对该计划表示支持[1]。反对党劳工党领袖Steven Miles批评该战略迟交一年，且缺乏具体的数字承诺和实施细节[1]。
Queensland Premier David Crisafulli has announced a new veterans and families strategy spanning 2026 to 2032, designed to support the state's approximately 163,000 veterans and harness their contribution to economic development [1]. The comprehensive framework addresses five key areas: education and employment, health, housing support, veteran entrepreneurship, and community engagement plus commemoration [1].
The strategy reflects the significant veteran population across Queensland, which represents 2.8 percent of the state's population [1]. Veterans are distributed unevenly, comprising 3.2 percent of Brisbane's residents but reaching 9.1 percent in Townsville [1]. Additionally, about 23,000 Queenslanders are currently serving in the Australian Defence Force or reserves [1]. RSL Queensland chair Major General Stephen has backed the initiative [1].
However, the plan has faced criticism for lacking specific financial commitments and concrete details [1]. Opposition Leader Steven Miles contended that the strategy arrived a year behind schedule and fails to provide the detailed implementation measures needed to substantiate the government's veterans agenda [1].
