Soldier Settlement

• Soldier settlement, also known as the Soldier Settlement Scheme or Soldiers Settlement Scheme, administered by the Soldier Settlement Commission, was the settlement of land throughout parts of Australia by returning discharged soldiers under schemes administered by the state governments after World War I and World War II.
• By 1924, 23.2 million acres (93,900 km²) had been allotted 23,367 farms across Australia.
• Other than supporting soldiers and sailors that were returning from those wars, the various governments also saw the opportunity of attracting both Australians and specific groups of allied service personnel to some of the otherwise little inhabited, remote areas of Australia.
• The states took responsibility for land settlement and thus enacted separate soldier settlement schemes.
• In addition to soldiers, nurses and female relatives of deceased soldiers were also able to apply for the scheme.
• The procedure of supporting such soldiers was repeated after World War II with all Australian state governments.
