Overview - Victoria's Place-Based Suicide Prevention Trials

Suicide prevention is a shared focus of the Victorian Government Department of Health and Human Services and the Primary Health Networks, an Australian Government initiative.
Key polices include the National Suicide Prevention Strategy 2015 and the Victorian suicide prevention framework 2016-25. In line with these, the Victorian Government Department of Health and Human Services and the six Victorian Primary Health Networks are implementing a collaborative response which will see place-based approaches to suicide prevention being implemented across twelve metropolitan, regional, and rural locations of need over a four year period.
