An Australian Defence Force veteran has described how sustained bullying, harassment and being refused discharge after a poor complaints process led to her psychological decline.
The ex-soldier, who gave evidence to the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide on Thursday in Sydney under the pseudonym SY5, said she suffered degrading and humiliating bullying for more than a year.
She was targeted by several young men aged in their 20s while she was serving as their deputy commander.
