Suicide Prevention Australia in partnership with Anytime Fitness Australia is pleased to announce that $390,000 of community funds has been raised to support suicide prevention initiatives across the country, thanks to the Plebs, Pros and Personalities 24 Hour Treadmill Challenge held on 28-29 July 2017. These events at almost 300 Anytime Fitness clubs across the nation brought together community members, local businesses, community services, politicians and celebrities to show their support for suicide prevention. 

 SPA shares their grave concerns "about the damaging impact that the national dialogue on the issue of marriage equality is having on our communities" and the fact that “we are already witnessing a rise in the levels of stress and anxiety within LGBTI communities.”

Suicide Prevention Australia CEO Sue Murray said of the Fifth Plan launched by Government today, “We have seen unprecedented political support for suicide prevention this year, most notably consultation on the Fifth National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Plan. We welcome suicide prevention being recognised as a key pillar in the plan and remain steadfast in our commitment to community sector and lived experience voices across the country being heard when it comes to implementation.”
