Celebrating an advocate for veterans health and wellbeing

It was an honour to present a NSW Government Community Service Award to Wagga Wagga’s Jason Frost.

Jason is president of the Defence Shed Wagga Wagga, which he played a significant role in establishing.

In addition, Jason was instrumental in the push to establish the Pro Patria Centre in the former Carmelite Monastery.

In his role as president of the Defence Shed, Jason has strongly advocated for the health and wellbeing of veterans. He has highlighted the issue of veteran suicides and has pushed for veterans to have access to modern treatments.

He is tireless in his work and does an excellent job supporting veterans.

Jason has been described as a voice for those who suffer complex health issues and haven’t been able to gain the support they require.

He is an inspiring speaker who, by sharing his story, has assisted others seek help and brought the wider community’s attention to the plight of modern veterans.

A veteran who devoted 16 years to the Australian Army, Jason was discharged in 2015 due to injuries.

He has gone above and beyond to improve the quality of life of veterans within our community and is a worthy recipient of this award.

It was a pleasure to present Jason with this award.
