Labor launches new agency to combat veteran suicide in wake of Royal Commission
The Albanian government is starting the first agency of Australia to commit suicide among service and retired defense personnel, following the “most important advice of a turning point investigation.
Since the Royal Commission of Defense and Veterans, he has delivered his last report and pointed out a three -year investigation, which drew a terrible picture of institutional failures and widespread bullying and abuse.
Among the 122 suggestions made in the final report, there was an organ that was accused of preventing suicide.
Veterans Minister Matt Kegh said that the Defense and Veterans Service Commission (DVSC) would be a “strong champion için for personnel.
“The Royal Commission said that it was the most important advice of creating an independent organ to control the reform,” he said.
“Today, it works and works less than a year after the Albanian government accepts this advice.
“Now, veterans and their families have a strong champion in their corners, focusing on correcting the broken system.
“The Defense and Veterans Service Commission has a singular focus to direct suicides and reforms that will reduce suicides among the existing and existing ADF members guided with the best evidence.”
Royal commission has been serving at least 1677 with the hearings just all over the country and that the former defense personnel took their own life between 1997-2021 – in the same period, more than 20 times the number of murdered in war or military exercises.
The President of the Commission Nick Kaldas, under the leadership of a senior government and defense led to a “disaster failure”.
“When there are dozens of investigations, hundreds of suggestions, and when no one returned to check if the proposals were acquitted, I can say that it was leadership failure, Kal Kaldas said the report to the government last year.
“What is clear from some terrible stories we hear is that many people have to turn a blind eye for many years and feel that it is very difficult, or they don’t care enough to deal with problems.”
He made it clear that both red and blue persuasion governments did not do enough.
The Albanian government adopted the advice of the Royal Commission 104.
He received 17 more in the notification and refused to support one.
