The Prime Minister’s Veterans’ Employment Awards showcase businesses across Australia which employ or support veterans of the Australian Defence Force (ADF), while highlighting the significant contributions being made by veterans in the civilian workplace.

Army Veteran Glen Ferrarotto has been awarded the top honour of Outstanding Contribution by an Individual to Veterans’ Employment. Mr Ferrarotto founded Ironside Recruitment, an organisation specifically dedicated to placing ex-service personnel into employment outside the Australian Defence Force. Ironside Recruitment is a subsidiary of Aspen Medical. 

Glen is assisting veterans across the country to apply their valuable military skills and experience in the workforce, and the award recognises his contribution to the lives of men and women who have served Australia in uniform.

The Prime Minister’s Veterans’ Employment Awards are just one part of a larger program to raise awareness of the enormous value and unique experience our veterans have and the significant contribution they can make in civilian employment.
