Australian Defence Force chief General Angus Taylor faced the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide today.The chief of the Australian Defence Force has issued an unreserved apology for "deficiencies" in providing wellbeing support and care for veterans during and after their service and says he is committed to "doing better".
General Campbell said the courage of those who have come forward to share experiences with the commission was "deeply admirable". General Campbell previously appeared before the royal commission in June 2022, where he admitted defence was not doing enough to address veteran suicide.Ms Longbottom put to General Campbell that the royal commission was not the first inquiry to explore issues connected to mental health and suicide prevention within the defence community.But he disagreed that Defence waited until 2022 or 2023 to start "in earnest" initiatives to improve the experience of personnel.
