Joint Statement from the Chief of the Defence Staff and Office of the National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces Ombud

In National

General Jennie Carignan, the Chief of the Defence Staff, and Robyn Hynes, Interim Ombud, are pleased to announce an exciting new collaboration between the Office of the DND/CAF Ombudsman and the Canadian Armed Forces.

Together, they introduce the newly expanded Military Benefits Browser that now incorporates the CAF Offer. This interactive tool provides CAF members and their families with easy, 24/7, comprehensive access to information about their benefits and services available throughout their careers, from recruitment to release, and their transition into civilian life.

“We are pleased to announce that this partnership has resulted in the creation of an innovative, user-friendly online tool designed to better support CAF members, their families, and those who are considering a career in the CAF. This tool will provide a tailored list of programs that’s available to users depending on their career status, service type, medical status and more. It is convenient and informative to our members who are serving, retired, or supporting.”

The expanded Military Benefits Browser, available on both the CAF Offer and Ombud’s websites, has been carefully designed to:

  • Help individuals better understand the programs and services they may be entitled to at every stage of their military career.
  • Empower CAF members and their families to make more informed decisions about their future.
  • Serve as a valuable resource for anyone considering a career in the Armed Forces.

“This initiative reflects our shared commitment to enhancing the well-being and success of the Defence Community.  More information on how to access and use the portal will follow in the coming weeks.”
