The Hidden toll : Suicide in Australia is a report just released by the Senate Standing Committee on Community Affairs, which makes 42 recommendations to governments on how the impact of suicide can be reduced.
"At least six Australian lives are taken by suicide every day, however there continues
to be a lack of public awareness about the impact of suicide on the community. The
title of the Committee's report The Hidden Toll: Suicide in Australia reflects this
situation as well as the hope that increased public attention and support for suicide
prevention can reduce the damage it causes." The recommendations include the urging of special strategies and funding for men, Indigenous communities, children, people from rural and remote areas and recently released prisoners.
