Royal Commission into Suicide amongst Defence Peronnel and Veterans

Last week the government made an announcement regarding a Royal Commission into Suicide amongst Defence Personnel and Veterans.

I have attached the PM's announcement, and also a link to the submissions form if you have something to contribute to this process.

​I am eager to see how this Royal Commission proceeds.
