Suicide Prevention Forum A Success

A diverse group of more than 70 people have come together for the Central Australian Suicide Prevention Forum at the Desert Knowledge Precinct in May 2023. The forum has a focus on keeping the conversation happening in our community about preventing suicide and showcasing successful suicide prevention and postvention initiatives.

A special thankyou to all of our presenters including 13 Yarn, Aboriginal Medical Services Alliance Northern Territory, MATES in Construction QLD & NT, Central Australian Aboriginal Congress, National Wellbeing Alliance, Northern Territory PHN, MacDonnell Regional Council, Royal Flying Doctor Service SA/NT, Multicultural Community Services of Central Australia, Mental Health Services Central Australia Region, Teddy McDiarmid and Kylie Buzzacott, Alison Cunnynghame, and Code 4 Life at Desert Knowledge Australia

The forum was organised by the Mental Health Association Central Australia, and supported by the Northern Territory Government and Desert Knowledge Australia

In December 2024 the Australian Government and Gayaa Dhuwi - Proud Spirit - Australia launched the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Suicide Prevention Strategy 2025-2035.

The suicide rate of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is more than double that of the broader community.

The Strategy sets a path for all governments to work in genuine partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, organisations and communities to reduce the rates of suicide and self-harm by driving culturally safe and responsive solutions.
