The NSW Government is introducing new legislation to help prevent suicide. In 2024, Suicide Prevention Australia undertook consultations on behalf of the NSW Government to ensure that the legislation is informed by people with a lived experience of suicide and organisations across the suicide prevention sector. 

In late 2024, Suicide Prevention Australia collated the consultation findings into a report which we shared with the NSW Ministry of Health. This report was delivered alongside findings from consultations with First Nations communities across NSW, led and delivered by First Nations Co. We continue to support the NSW Government in its progression of this legislative process. 

As Suicide Prevention Australia receives them, further updates regarding the legislation process will be provided here.
