Suicide prevention strategy

Suicide is a significant issue in Tasmania. Every life lost to suicide comes at a high personal cost to families, friends and communities.

The Department of Health has released the Tasmanian Suicide Prevention Strategy 2023-2027 setting out the vision and priorities for suicide prevention in Tasmania for the next five years.

The strategy has come after extensive community consultation and, for the first time, includes a foreword and statements from people with lived experience.

The Department has released the Tasmanian Suicide Prevention Strategy Implementation Plan One: January 2023 – June 2024. This is the first implementation plan supporting the strategy. A further two plans will be developed and released at a future date.
