Suicide remains the leading cause of death for Australians aged between 15 and 44. As a mental health professional, you are the frontline of defence, and you will be required to work with suicidality. You must be prepared.

The purpose of the 2025 Suicide Prevention Summit is to equip helping professionals with evidence-based, culturally-informed strategies, insights, and clinical tools for identifying and managing suicide risk. To achieve that, we’ve assembled 16 leading experts in mental health & suicide prevention into one online specialised Summit. And you can learn for free.

One of the most powerful resources we have to reduce suicides is our frontline mental health workforce. We believe that by providing thousands of mental health practitioners in Australia with global best-practice knowhow and skills, we can tangibly reduce suicide rates. We see our role as bringing global best-practice education to practitioners. Your role is taking the time to learn and apply.

As we endeavour to save valuable lives, we look forward to seeing you at the online 2025 Suicide Prevention Summit. Please continue reading below for more information, or head straight to our registration form.
