Archived Grant Opportunity View - GO1770

The intention of this grant opportunity is to
continue funding the 15 organisations currently funded
under the National Suicide Prevention
Leadership and Support Program (the Program)
to continue delivery of national
projects, enhance data collection of grant
activities and to ensure a comprehensive
evaluation of the Program can be undertaken.

The Program is designed to fund a range of
activities that contribute to reducing deaths by
suicide across the Australian population and
among at risk groups and to reduce suicidal
behaviour (i.e. ideation, planning, self-harm and
suicide attempts).

The objectives of the Program are to:
• facilitate leadership, strategic partnerships
and collaboration in the suicide prevention
sector;
• reduce the prevalence of suicide and suicidal
behaviours in Australia and the impact on
individuals, their families and communities;
• build the evidence-base to enable continued
improvements in suicide prevention and ensure
the evidence base is shared and translated into
best practice across the sector;
• reduce the prevalence of Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander suicide and the impact on
individuals, their families and communities;
• reduce the stigma around suicide and raise
awareness of suicide prevention; and
• provide support and care to individuals at
heightened risk of suicide.
