Advice on the National Suicide Prevention Strategy

Advice on the National Suicide Prevention Strategy

The draft Advice on the National Suicide Prevention Strategy is the first major deliverable for the National Suicide Prevention Office. It brings together first-hand evidence provided by people with lived and living experience of suicide, the latest research, and recommendations from existing inquiries and reports to lay out a path that will deliver a reduction in the number of lives lost to suicide nationally.

Development of the National Suicide Prevention Outcomes Framework

The National Suicide Prevention Office is developing the National Suicide Prevention Outcomes Framework to outline key outcomes relating to Suicide Prevention and how to measure whether progress against them is being made.

National Suicide Prevention Adviser’s Final Advice

In July 2019, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced the commitment of the Australian Government to working ‘towards zero suicides’ and the appointment of the First National Suicide Prevention Adviser.

Acknowledgment of Country

The National Suicide Prevention Office (NSPO) acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters on which we live, work and learn.

Recognition of lived experience

The NSPO recognises the individual and collective contributions of those with lived and living experience of suicide. People who have survived suicide attempts, cared for a person in suicidal crisis or have lost a loved one to suicide demonstrate tremendous generosity through providing their expertise and insights. Every person’s journey is unique and a valued contribution to Australia’s commitment to suicide prevention system reform.
