    Bassilios, B ; Dunt, D ; Currier, D ; Krysinska, K ; Machlin, A ; Newton, D ; Williamson, M ; Pirkis, J (Centre for Mental Health, University of Melbourne, 2023-07)
    The National Suicide Prevention Office provided a grant to the University of Melbourne’s Centre for Mental Health to conduct an environmental scan of the government-led suicide prevention system in Australia to contribute to its workplan, particularly its development of the National Suicide Prevention Strategy. The scan was conducted from August 2022 to January 2023, utilising three key methods: a review of documents, interviews with key informants, and a review of programs and services. Findings demonstrated that Australia’s suicide prevention efforts are significant but that there are many opportunities to further progress suicide prevention and response efforts.

    Williamson, M ; Schlichthorst, M ; Jordan, H ; Too, LS ; Pirkis, J ; Reifels, L ( 2019-05-10)
    Suicide is a significant concern for the Australian population, claiming the lives of 3128 men and women in 2017. Wesley Mission, through its Wesley LifeForce Suicide Prevention Networks program (Wesley LifeForce program) has been working with the community to support the development of local community suicide prevention networks since 2007. Wesley Mission defines a network as ‘A union of people and organisations, working together to change the outcome relating to a specific problem.’ Networks are further described as being community based and as being ‘for the people, by the people’. In this report, we refer to this notion as ‘community led’. While the aims and objectives of each network vary, reflecting the unique identity of each community, there is a common thread: a focus on interagency cooperation and raising community awareness. Wesley LifeForce network functions typically include activities that seek to: • identify and bring together community participants with an interest or responsibility in suicide prevention, mental health issues and/or mental health promotion • facilitate the exchange of information • co-ordinate suicide prevention activities to maximise impact • encourage sharing of skills and learning • raise community awareness of suicide risk and protective factors and help create pathways
