Breaking the Silence - seminal report on suicide and suicide prevention in Australia

Breaking the silence report cover (detail)

This Report has been prepared to highlight the state of suicide and suicide prevention in Australia with a view to developing a more effective national response.

The Report draws together the current knowledge here and abroad to show that suicide is preventable and that Australia has a major problem which to this point governments have not given a high priority in funding terms.

The Report has been prepared by a group of leading national organisations involved in every aspect of suicide prevention: policy, advocacy, research, front line prevention, intervention and bereavement services.
