The Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide has made it abundantly clear that for decades Australia’s Defence personnel, veterans and indeed their families have not been treated as they should have been.

They’ve been failed by successive Australian governments.

Federal, State and Territory Ministers responsible for veterans’ matters met in Canberra today to enhance cooperation to better support veterans and their families in light of the Final Report of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide.

As we mark 25 years of Australian service in Timor-Leste, we remember Australia’s long and proud history of international peacekeeping.
