Do you have a complaint about an Australian Government agency?
The DVSC is focused on driving systemic reform to improve suicide prevention and wellbeing outcomes for serving and ex-serving members of the ADF. The DVSC cannot review individual cases, claims, complaints or appeals or make recommendations about individual cases.
Please direct enquiries about individual matters to the relevant Australian Government agency.
If you have other matters to discuss with the DVSC, or want to tell us about your experience to inform our systemic work, get in touch below.
If life is in danger, please call 000. Visit Support resources
