All because of the industry she'd come from, and her husband was still in.
Clare Mitchell knew exactly what job she wanted after leaving a career in defence but it took her 20 years to actually get it.
Her career took another hit when she married her husband, who was also in defence, and discovered that being a military spouse added another layer of challenges. Working at the ADF charity, which supports current and ex serving members and their families, she's heard countless stories from female veterans struggling to find satisfying work — or any work at all — in the decade since.
Female veterans with children can struggle finding flexible employment, while some with career gaps find it hard just to get their foot in the door, and specialised career support can be hard to find. Developed in partnership with the Department of Veterans' Affairs, FW founder and managing director Helen McCabe told 9news.com.au the new focus on women who've served in the ADF "feels like a natural continuation of the work FW is doing".
