This release contains internal correspondence regarding the 2022 ADF Family Survey report timeline and publication strategy. The documents show extensive delays in releasing the survey between December 2022 and June 2024, with substantial revisions driven by the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide hearings (March and June/July 2023), the Joint Veterans and Defence Family Wellbeing Strategy (May 2023 onwards), and ministerial announcements including Defence Strategic Review and National Defence Strategy releases (April 2024). The timeline details engagements with stakeholders including Defence Mental Health Services, Research divisions, and policy coordination areas. Work was diverted to Royal Commission witness preparations and competing reports including the Women in ADF Report and 2023 Workplace Behaviour Reports. The strategy shifted toward coordinating the survey report's public release with the Family Strategy announcement. Extensive redactions under section 47E(d) and 47G obscure specific personnel
