AB  - OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to introduce The Royal Australian & New 
      Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) Military and Veterans' Mental Health 
      Network (The Network) and profile its inaugural members. METHODS: We implemented 
      an online survey of demographic, professional and practice characteristics of 
      network members; self-rated knowledge of military and veterans' mental health; 
      reasons for joining The Network; and suggestions as to how The Network could best 
      support members' needs. Quantitative survey responses were analysed 
      descriptively. Qualitative responses were analysed thematically. RESULTS: 
      Thirty-two out of 60 network members returned the survey. The membership was 
      predominately male and 50 years of age or older. One-half had completed their 
      fellowship or specialty 20 or more years ago. A high level of self-rated 
      knowledge with respect to the assessment and management of current and ex-serving 
      military personnel was reported. Knowledge of the assessment and management of 
      current and ex-serving emergency services personnel was lower. CONCLUSION: There 
      are RANZCP members with an active interest, expertise and knowledge in the field 
      of military, veterans' and emergency services personnel mental health; this 
      affirms the significant role the RANZCP can play in this area. There is a need to 
      expand, diversify and ensure sustainability of the workforce.
