ADF Women Sue Over Overseas Abuse; Inquiry Announced
Update: 2025-12-02
Description
Over one thousand women in the Australian Defence Force have launched a class action lawsuit against the Commonwealth, alleging systemic sexual abuse, harassment, and discrimination. The lawsuit covers incidents from 2003 to 2025, but the Commonwealth seeks to exclude overseas incidents. This move has been criticized as an attempt to avoid accountability. Meanwhile, an inquiry into sexual misconduct within the ADF has been announced, focusing on prevalence, barriers to reporting, and the effectiveness of the complaint process. The issue of including overseas incidents will be discussed in late March 2026.
