Analysis of Australian Suicide Prevention and Postvention Programs

The Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) contracted Australian Catholic University (ACU) to determine the number and accessibility of suicide prevention and postvention programs for the Australian veteran community.

Completed by the ACU National Centre for Veterans and Families, this project aims to enhance DVA's understanding of:

  • The number and location of Australian suicide prevention and postvention programs.
  • The future needs of the veteran community regarding suicide prevention and postvention programs.

Australian Veteran Services Mapping Project

As part of the work of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide, Veteran Life Research at Australian Catholic University (ACU) was engaged to undertake a six-month project to identify, verify, describe, and map the Australian veteran service provider sector.

Funding for the project was provided by the Commission. In support of the important work being undertaken by the Commission, ACU has made significant in-kind contributions to the project in the form of expertise, labour, and software development.
