This #AnzacDay, the #DVSRC urges people to remember the unique sacrifice of our sailors, soldiers and aviators. Every one of us has a role to play in supporting those who protect us. Find out more: …veteransuicide.royalcommission.gov.au Image: AWM
We understand that people are looking for change in the military environment and post-service support. Commissioner Peggy Brown recently outlined what success could look like. #DVSRC
#DVSRC Chair Nick Kaldas spoke to 4BC radio about new research into the estimated frequency of Defence member and veteran suicide-related contact with police and paramedics bit.ly/43XIou5
One veteran has suicide-related contact with emergency services every 4 hours according to a new #DVSRC and @QCMHR study. This follows recognition of the link between military service & suicidality by senior Defence personnel at the last public hearing. bit.ly/4cQ7O0T
The April newsletter is out now, with information about our final public hearing held in Sydney, the need for a post Royal Commission body to monitor reform implementation and ongoing private sessions. bit.ly/3T0NG4C #DVSRC
Royal Commission Chair Nick Kaldas recently spoke about the importance of bipartisan support for implementing the final recommendations, which are due in September 2024, and addressing complex issues. #DVSRC
#DVSRC chair Nick Kaldas used his closing address at the final hearing to implore the media and public to maintain a keen interest in the issues contributing to Defence and veteran suicide and demand action. “No longer can we allow the preventable deaths of our finest to occur."
In an interview with @frankelly08 on @ABCaustralia Radio National, Commissioner Nick Kaldas reflected on lessons from almost three years of the #DVSRC — and what needs to change if Australia is to turn the tide on the national tragedy of military suicide bit.ly/43G5jtU
The Royal Commission office will be closed from 29 March to 1 April (inclusive). During this time, our Counselling and Enquiries team will not be available. If you need urgent support over the Easter break, please contact a crisis support service: bit.ly/3MuH6Qs #DVSRC
The Royal Commission has now completed its last public hearing. A deep and sincere thank you to everyone who courageously came forward and shared their experiences with us. This inquiry would not have been possible without your participation. #DVSRC
