Following the success of our data webinar in December 2021, we’re partnering with the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) to deliver a series of data webinars throughout 2022.
Our Data in Practice series will take a deep dive into the Suicide and Self-Harm Monitoring System. This new, national system is the most comprehensive collation of data for deaths by suicide as well as self-harming and suicidal behaviours. It’s designed to improve the quality, accessibility, and timeliness of data on suicide and self-harm and to support policy makers, researchers, and practitioners to drive better outcomes.
Chris Killick-Moran is the Head of the Suicide and Self-harm Monitoring Unit in the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. He has more than 20 years’ experience in the development of health policy and evidence in the Australian and ACT governments. His areas of specialisation include suicide prevention policy, mental health policy, alcohol and other drug policy and the use of data and evidence to inform government decision making. He holds a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) from Australian National University.
