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.
