Find Help

At times, knowing where to get help can be challenging. As the national peak body for suicide prevention, we have made this a little easier and created a list of the main services that provide help.

Suicide Prevention Australia is not a crisis support or counselling service. Our role is to support our 300+ members who offer suicide prevention services and programs.

If you, or someone you know is in immediate danger, please call 000, visit your nearest hospital or call any of the below services.
