Every suicide is a tragedy that impacts individuals, families, and communities. Around half of those who die by suicide have not engaged with healthcare services in the year prior. The factors leading to suicide extend beyond mental health conditions, necessitating a coordinated response from all government sectors to reduce suicide rates in ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø.
To address this, the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Government is creating suicide prevention legislation designed to incorporate the experiences of those affected by suicide and promote shared responsibility and accountability across various government portfolios.
The ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Suicide Prevention Legislation: Discussion Paper is the document that was used for consultation to develop suicide prevention legislation in ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø.
