Personal Storytelling

for Veterans

Find Your Voice. Own Your Story.

Have you ever wanted to write your memoir and capture your experiences from Defence life?
Whether you’re writing to preserve your family legacy or simply for yourself, the Australian Writers’ Centre is the perfect place to begin.

For many, writing is more than storytelling—it’s a path to healing. It can be cathartic, transformative, even redemptive—and often, it truly is.

Discover the power of storytelling through the Personal Storytelling Program, designed specifically for Veterans. This course helps participants craft and share their personal stories in a supportive environment, fostering connection and resilience.
The program begins on 16 February 2026 and runs for six weeks, combining online learning with interactive Zoom sessions.

 

Flexible Learning Options

You can study from home or anywhere with this online course.

And to make participation easier, you can study from your local Veteran and Family Hub, where a quiet space will be available for you to complete the course. If you don’t have access to a computer, there is potential to borrow a laptop from your local Hub to ensure you can fully engage with the program.
