Round tables
Round tables
Round tables will form an integral part of the National Commissioner's work as they enable people with a range of perspectives, expertise and experience to discuss ideas on important topics related to mental health and suicide in the current serving and veteran communities. These discussions will assist the National Commissioner in developing recommendations to prevent future deaths by suicide.
In December 2020, the interim National Commissioner held round table discussions with key representatives from community groups representing current and ex-serving ADF members.
In November 2020, key representatives were invited to initial round tables meetings in Canberra, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.
In January 2021, Commissioner Boss is conducting roundtable discussions in person in the following cities:
- Townsville
- Brisbane
- Adelaide
- Hobart
If Commissioner Boss is unable to attend one of the states or territories in person due to COVID-19 restrictions, a virtual meeting will take place.
Please register your interest to participate in the upcoming work of the National Commissioner.
