Consultations
Find out how the DVSC seeks feedback and input from the community.
In the course of their work, the Commissioner will be interested in hearing from people with lived experience – whether currently serving in the ADF, former ADF members, or a family member or someone who is supporting them. These insights might relate directly or indirectly to suicide and suicidality in the Defence and veteran ecosystem, but could also be about other matters relating to the systemic prevention of suicide for current and ex-serving ADF members.
Submissions
To support the inquiries of the Commissioner, the DVSC will call for submissions from organisations and individuals across the Defence and veteran ecosystem.
Inquiry into Access to Information
Online consultation was open from 28 January 2026 to 24 March 2026.
Any questions or concerns regarding the submissions process, please send to Contact@dvsc.gov.au
Hearings
To support the inquiries of the Defence and Veterans’ Service Commissioner, the DVSC may hold public or private hearings into particular matters.
Information about hearings will be available here once they are announced.
