New from 2024, Learnlinc is a comprehensive platform that aims to facilitate learning and skill development in the field of suicide prevention. It offers a range of resources and educational opportunities to individuals and organisations, enabling them to identify their learning needs, achieve learning goals, and apply that knowledge effectively in suicide prevention efforts. 

Participants have access to a variety of learning materials, both free and at a cost, including online courses, training videos, research papers, webinars, and Communities of Practice. These resources cater to different learning levels and specific roles within the suicide prevention field. The program was developed in collaboration with experts in suicide prevention, training platforms, and individuals with lived experience, ensuring the availability of diverse and high-quality learning options. 

Learnlinc encourages suicide prevention providers to promote their training and learning resources, creating a dynamic platform that shares the latest information and resources across the sector. It serves as a valuable tool for staff development, keeping individuals informed and promoting a flow of shared knowledge and experience. 

Similar to how workplaces have CPR or first-aid programs, Learnlinc offers a solution for upskilling in suicide prevention, allowing individuals and organisations to enhance their capabilities and contribute to Suicide Prevention Australia’s vision of preventing suicide.
