Defence Family Matters (DFM) is a lifestyle magazine for Australian Defence Force (ADF) members and their families.
Articles celebrate family stories from the Defence community and provide advice on managing relocation, deployment and family member absences.
DFM is published in July and December each year. By default, a hard copy is posted to all fulltime personnel who have dependents and have a street address recorded in the HR system.
