National Suicide Prevention Strategy 2025-2035
Every day in Australia, nine people die by suicide and more than 150 attempt to take their own life. This is more than 3,000 lives lost every year. The impacts of suicidal distress and suicide on individuals, families and our communities are devastating.
The National Suicide Prevention Strategy outlines what is required to provide a national, evidence-based and compassionate suicide prevention system. It aims to prevent suicide by addressing the circumstances that lead to suicidal distress and to support people experiencing suicidal thoughts and those who care for them.
