Afghanistan veteran Bradly Carr suicided on Anzac Day in the most harrowing of statements about the fate of troubled veterans in Australia but the desperate pleas of families and those who have served have been heard.
Mr Morrison said the "great risk" Defence Force personnel take was "not just" when they deploy to war.
"That immediate risk that is there, that is rightfully and well considered when those decisions are sensibly made and wisely made, we hope, by governments at those times," he said.
"But increasingly, we must also understand the long tail of cost. I mean the human cost. And that cost is most significant when we see it in the death by suicide of our veterans."
