About
Mark Croxford
Veteran, former political adviser, public affairs strategist, writer and builder of independent public-interest projects.
I served in the Royal Australian Navy from 1980 to 2000 and later worked across veterans’ affairs, trade, defence industry, public affairs, political strategy and local government.
This website is the permanent home for my writing and independent projects. My work concentrates on politics, government machinery, veterans’ affairs, media, technology and the gap between what institutions say they do and what their systems actually produce.

Veterans Count
Veterans Count makes Australia’s service-connected community visible at electorate level. It provides public, non-partisan information that helps constituents understand their local footprint and gives members of parliament better evidence for conversations about veterans and families.

Current writing
My current essays and commentary are published on Substack. This website preserves the durable archive and provides a permanent home for projects that need more structure than a newsletter can offer.
