In response to public interest and concern about the incidence of suicide in Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has published this fact sheet: Incidence of suicide among serving and ex-serving Australian Defence Force personnel 2001-2014.
The data shows that between 2001 and 2014, there were 292 suicide deaths of people who had served with the ADF. Of these, 84 were serving full-time, and 272 were men. Comparing the men with all Australian men, this was lower for men serving full-time or in the reserve, and higher than the general population for ex-serving men.
