Robert Bak of the Integrated Servicepeople’s Association of Australia gave the welcome and opening address to the audience.

The army veteran said decision-makers must realise their responsibilities towards our service and ex-service communities.
Mr Bak’s address was a message for leaders to start opening their hearts towards our veterans and get them on the road to recovery and not just talk and attend photo opportunities.
“The governments have been poorly lacking in its duties towards our veterans and service people alike,” he said.
