Representatives of those with lived experience of domestic, family and sexual violence (DFSV) will appear at the upcoming public hearing on Friday, 26 June 2026 for the House Social Policy and Legal Affairs Committee's inquiry into the relationship between DFSV and suicide.
'When considering the frameworks surrounding the intersection between DSFV and suicide, it is critically important to hear the voices of those who have lived through these horrific circumstances', Committee Chair, Ms Louise Miller-Frost MP said.
'The Committee values the opportunity to hear from these witnesses to fully appreciate the impact of systemic issues that are felt by those most in need of support, and will bring focus to the evidence provided so far by experts, governments, and support organisations', Ms Miller-Frost stated.
The Committee is also scheduled to hear from international experts in DFSV and suicide at the hearing, providing an international comparison with reporting systems in the United Kingdom. Parts of this hearing may be conducted in private and not broadcast.
