In my father’s name, are you OK?

Suicide is the leading cause of death in Australia for men under 44 and women under 34. According to the most recent Australian data (ABS, Causes of Death, 2009) 2123 Australians died due to suicide that year. That equates to six deaths by suicide a day, or one every four hours.

For every completed suicide it is estimated that as many as 30 people attempt. That’s 180 attempts per day, meaning there is more than one new attempt in Australia, every 10 minutes.
