Annual Report

Suicide Prevention Australia is 30 years old! We were formed in 1992 and as the peak body, we have evolved in many ways during this time. Thirty years ago suicide was a taboo topic. Fortunately, much has been done to raise awareness of suicide. More people are comfortable talking about suicide and reaching out to their family, friends and colleagues to ask are you ok.

Reflecting on our history, much of our recent advocacy success stems from the launch of our first national policy platform in 2019. This marked the start of our advocacy for a whole of government approach to suicide prevention, reliable data and a workforce strategy. The formation of the National Suicide and Self-harm Monitoring System two years ago, marked a significant milestone for access to timely and accurate data.

Other significant highlights include the formation of the National Suicide Prevention Office, the appointment of the first National Suicide Prevention Adviser and an Assistant Minister for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention. These elements are all important features of our push for a whole of government approach to suicide prevention.
