Suicide Prevention Australia is the national peak body for suicide prevention.

We exist to provide a clear, collective voice for suicide prevention, so that together we can save lives. Our members and associates are central to everything we do.

We believe that through collaboration and shared purpose, we can work towards our ambition of a world without suicide.

At Suicide Prevention Australia, we are guided by lived experience and advocate for a whole-of-government approach to reducing suicide, encompassing not just mental health but social, economic and community risk and protective factors.

We advocate for a better policy and funding environment by responding to government and parliamentary consultations and inquiries and representing Suicide Prevention Australia members on key government and sector committees.

We consult with our members and associates across policy, advocacy and research. Members and associates have the opportunity to join our many panels and committees to inform our work.

Your membership gives you access to a wide variety of benefits:

• Advocacy and Research: we consult with members to help us inform our advocacy work with key stakeholders such as state and federal governments, media, businesses, and communities.
• Policy: we offer invitations to policy working groups, to contribute to submissions and help design policy papers.
• Events: we host a range of face to face and online events, with preferential rates for members and invitations to member only events.
• Data and Information: through our regular member briefs, you have access to the latest sector news, research, and evidence.
• Promotion: we provide the opportunity to promote your organisations news, programs, events, services, and job vacancies through Suicide Prevention Australia’s channels which have a reach of more than 175,000 people.
• Collaboration: we facilitate networking between members and associates to ensure we are all working together towards our ambition of a world without suicide.
• Quality Systems and Practice: we offer a series of initiatives designed to enhance best practice, including an Accreditation Program, A Competency Framework and The Learning Hub.
