ANZAC Day: The Heroes Who Came Home But Didn't Grow Old

Category: News & Politics
Duration: 00:15:40

Description:

More Australian veterans have taken their own lives than have been killed in active duty since our troops were first deployed to Afghanistan in 2001, but it has taken until this week for the Federal Government to support a Royal Commission into Veteran Suicide.

The Quicky speaks to two experts who are also veterans themselves, to find out why even those ADF members who never see combat are left feeling desperate, and what services are available to help them now.
