Julie-Ann Finney lost her veteran son, David in Feb last when he took his life after a crippling battle with Post-Traumatic Stress injury. He desperately wanted to stay alive, but David was failed by a broken system that is seeing more than one veteran a week take their own life. 

This petition is about the systemic failures the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA), who had numerous opportunities to save her son and others, but they failed. That's why she is calling for an urgent Royal Commission into veteran suicide rates.

This is a national tragedy, and something needs to be done about it.

If you or someone you know needs help, please phone Lifeline on 131 114, Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800 or Beyond Blue on 1300 224 636.
