dc.description.abstractThis final report, produced by the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide, investigates the systemic issues of military sexual violence, unacceptable behaviour, and the military justice system within the Australian Defence Force (ADF). The report discusses the prevalence of sexual misconduct in the ADF, links between sexual violence and suicide, and the barriers to reporting sexual offences. The report highlights significant issues despite prior reforms, including underreporting, inadequate training for commanders, and lack of return-to-work policies for victims. The recommendations aim to create deep systemic reforms, improve victim support, and hold perpetrators accountable.en_US

This includes treating members with respect and ensuring they are provided clear and understandable information on legal and welfare support.</p> <p><b>Improved Data Management and Reporting:</b></p> <p>Defence must improve military justice record-keeping, data input quality, and analysis to track trends in complaints and prevent the misuse of military justice processes.</p> <p><b>Combat Military Sexual Misconduct:</b></p> <p>Conduct independent research into the prevalence of military sexual trauma among serving and ex-serving ADF members. The research should explore the links between sexual misconduct and suicide and whether current ADF terminology and practices are effective in supporting victims.</p> <p><b>Adopt Trauma-Informed Approaches:</b></p> <p>Enhance support systems and trauma-informed practices in the military justice system to ensure procedural fairness and adequate support for members involved in justice matters.</p> <p>These recommendations emphasise the need for systemic reform, improved reporting, training, and victim support within the ADF.</p>en_US
