EMPOWERING VETERAN EMPLOYMENT & SUPPORTING DEFENCE FAMILIES

Why partnering with APOD is good for business

It's no secret that military and defence families are loyal. They will support those businesses that recognise their unique sacrifices and contributions

It's difficult for business to effectively reach this dedicated defence community, and equally hard for veterans and defence families to discover which organisations are truly in their corner. That's where APOD steps in to provide essential defence support and recognition that matters.

With APOD, your organisation can not only build brand loyalty but also extend a lifeline of financial wellbeing to our military community. Our platform serves as a one-stop-shop for defence and veteran families, simplifying their quest for everyday savings and employment opportunities.

How APOD works

Business offers are listed on our closed member program (website and APOD App) and can only be viewed and redeemed by registered APOD members.

Online offers can be redeemed using a unique link and/or promotional code. For in-store offers, APOD members are required to show a digital or physical APOD card or digital voucher at the point of sale.

Veteran card holders can also take advantage of all the benefits already available through APOD via a Department for Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) link to APOD. This means that any current serving or former serving defence personnel with a Veteran Card can setup an APOD account easily, and will be able to view and redeem our exclusive offers.

About Australian Partners of Defence

Founded in 2012, APOD is a uniquely Australian initiative designed to offer more than just everyday savings to Defence families. Created by veteran families for veteran families, we negotiate exclusive benefits and recognition for our members–ranging from savings on everyday shopping to job resources for veterans.

Our platform doesn’t just list discounts; we’re also stepping into the veteran employment sector. We aim to be a comprehensive resource for veteran job listings and military job opportunities. In short, when we talk about financial wellbeing, we see it holistically and employment is a major part of financial wellbeing.
