Tasmanian hearings for Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide

Guy Barnett,Minister for Veterans’ Affairs

The Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide will hold hearings in Tasmania between 1-10 August 2022 at Wrest Point in Hobart.

This is an important opportunity for serving and ex-serving Australian Defence Force personnel and their families, carers and supporters to have their say and share their experiences.

The lastest census data shows there are now over 17,500 veterans who make Tasmanian their home.

Our Government supports the important work being done by the Royal Commission and the work being undertaken by the Australian Government at the national level to improve outcomes for our veterans and their families.

The Tasmanian Government understands the importance of supporting the wellbeing of our veterans, and acknowledges their service and sacrifice.
