Suicide Preventon Australia is seeking a talented person well-versed in evaluation to fill the above role. You will be a detail focused person, interested in ensuring high quality programs and services are available for all sectors of the community and enjoy liaising with and supporting those who are seeking to improve their offering to those who are vulnerable to suicide and to those who care for them.

New preliminary data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) shows that the national suicide rate increased over 12 months, from 11.8 deaths per 100,000 in 2016 to 12.7 deaths per 100,000 in 2017, exceeding the World Health Organisation’s global average suicide mortality rate of 10.5 deaths per 100,000.

Australian researchers are invited to submit an Expression of Interest to apply for up to $100,000 each in Australian Government funding to develop new knowledge and approaches to suicide prevention.
