The Australian government has responded to the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide by accepting 104 out of 122 recommendations, focusing on mental health support and professional development for service personnel. However, the government did not support a recommendation to compensate permanently injured veterans in training at the same level as those injured in active service, raising questions about how different types of service are valued. The response also includes the establishment of a taskforce to consider further recommendations, but questions remain about funding for research and the taskforce's leadership and accountability.
