Defence and Veterans’ Service Commission
Working to improve suicide prevention and wellbeing outcomes for serving Australian Defence Force members and veterans by providing independent oversight and evidence-based advice to the Australian Government and Parliament.
Royal Commission recommendations
The Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide was established to look into the high rates of suicide in the Australian Defence and veteran community and make recommendations to the Australian Government.
What does the DVSC do?
The Defence and Veterans' Service Commission provides independent oversight and evidence-based advice to Government, to drive system reform to improve suicide prevention and wellbeing outcomes for current and ex-serving ADF members.
The work of the DVSC is founded on the significant insights, findings and recommendations of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide. Our job is to drive long-term accountability for the systemic reforms envisioned by the Royal Commission to protect the lives of those who protect Australia, now and for future generations.
