This grant opportunity has been established as a one-off or ad hoc grant for funding of $1.4 million (GST exclusive) for Beyond Blue to undertake a national leadership role in the implementation of The Way Back Support Service (Way Back).

The Way Back supports people after a suicide attempt or experiencing a suicidal crisis, originally developed by Beyond Blue, the Way Back is delivered in partnership with state/territory governments, Primary Health Networks (PHNs), referring hospitals and local service providers.

The Way Back model, aims to provide non-clinical, assertive outreach, follow-up care and practical support to individuals following a suicide attempt or suicidal crisis.
