Three million Australians are currently experiencing anxiety or depression.1
Every day, nearly eight people take their own lives.2

What can we do to stay safe and support others at home or at work?


Someone who is thinking about suicide will usually give some clues or signs to people around them, even though these might be subtle. Suicide prevention starts with recognising the warning signs and taking them seriously.

Warning signs might include:

  • A sense of hopelessness or no hope for the future.
  • Isolation or feeling alone – “No one understands me”.
  • Aggressiveness and irritability – “Leave me alone”.
  • Possessing lethal means – medication, weapons.
  • Negative view of self – “I’m worthless”.
    Drastic changes in mood and behaviour.
    Frequently talking about death – “If I died would you miss me?”.
  • Self-harming behaviours like cutting.
  • Risk-taking behaviours – “I’ll try anything, I’m not afraid to die”.
  • Making funeral arrangements.
    Giving things away (clothes, expensive gifts) – “When I’m gone, I want you to have this”.
  • Substance abuse.
  • Feeling like a burden to others – “You’d be better off without me”.
  • Talking about suicide – “Sometimes I feel like I just want to die”.
